Email from Syma Zerkow on 05/31/2013:
Last week, I urged you to try logging in to the test
database. Unfortunately, some of you have had problems with the
connection. IT and SirsiDynix staff are working to resolve this.
The train the trainer sessions on circulation have been
completed. We will have 4 teams of trainers conducting these 4-hour
training sessions. This will allow multiple opportunities to attend
sessions at locations throughout the system. A training schedule will be
issued next week.
Starting June 11, we will be making changes in the
bibliographic records for periodicals, microfilm, E- audiobooks and E-books so
that they will import correctly into Symphony. Once these changes are
made, the ability to limit your search by these material types will disappear
in both the Classic Catalog and Encore. We will be posting information on
the Catalog Search page and elsewhere. The final language has not been
set but it will be say something like:
TEMPORARY CHANGE IN CATALOG
SEARCHING
To find magazines, go to Journals
and Periodicals: http://0-atoz.ebsco.com.catalog.houstonlibrary.org/Titles/hpubl?lang=en&lang.menu=en&lang.subject=en
To find microfilm, add “microform”
to your keyword search terms
To find E-books and E-audiobooks,
add “electronic resource” to your keyword search terms
We will need to continue to use these workarounds until we
go live on Enterprise, our new SirsiDynix online catalog.
As always, if you have any questions, please contact me or
use Contact Us on the HALAN ILS Migration News site on the Intranet.
