SIRSI Training Updates

Email from Syma Zerkow on 5/17/13:

Training update:

·         Training on the new system will be offered in multiple locations and multiple times throughout the month of June and then ongoing.  Once a definite schedule is established with times and locations, everyone will be notified.

·         Procedures presented during training will be available through the HPL Training Portal.

·         SirsiDynix Help screens within Symphony WorkFlows are excellent.  Plan on using the Help screens regularly.

·         Sirsi also offers a free generic tutorial that you will be able to access at any time.

·         A “cheat sheet” to keep at the Service Desk of most common procedures will be available.

I’d also like to offer some quick definitions:

·         Enterprise is the name of the new catalog interface (currently we have the Classic Catalog and Encore).

·         SirsiDynix Symphony is the equivalent of III Millennium.

·         Symphony WorkFlows is your single access point to all functions.  Currently, you may have an icon on your desktop for Circ, another for Serials, another for Offline Circ, another for Program Registration, and so on.  All of these various III modules are incorporated into the single WorkFlows icon.

As always, if you have any questions, please contact me or use Contact Us on the HALAN ILS Migration News site on the Intranet.
