SIRSI Update #5

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 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.
