ILS Operating Committee News
Here is an update from the ILS Operating Committee with news about the Sierra migration. For more information about any of the items in this post, please contact one of the ILS Operating Committee co-chairs: Leslie O’Brien or Curtis Carr.
Attendees found the Sierra training on August 13-14 to be helpful, especially the sessions on Administration and Circulation. We have several service requests open for Sierra. If there is no response, call the Help Desk to follow up on the call and provide more information, if available. A list of the open calls can be found at the bottom of this document.
Sierra Release 1.1.2_5 was installed on Wednesday, 9/11/13. Hardware for the training server is on order.
Millennium Support Requests are being reviewed to make sure they are still relevant. Curtis will contact the person who originated the call for verification before requesting that III close the ticket. Please respond to Curtis if he sends you a call, or close or update the call yourself.
Other:
- SQL access is available for pulling data out of Sierra, looking at data in MS Access. Annette is working with selected CTS staff to build queries. She will demonstrate at a future ILS meeting.
- Circulation Notices were not working after Sierra came up, have been working since Aug 31. SMS (Notices texting service) is not working yet. A Service Request has been placed.
- ITS is updating the Addison Insider website. A notice will go out when the site is updated..
- Keith Battleson will join the ILS operating committee. Support for Sierra has been distributed within ITS.
- Print templates uses Jasper software for setting up templates. It can be found on CSDirect. Keith and Jeremiah are assigned to support it.
