Weekly Update—February 18, 2014
Welcome to 2.5!
We did it! Congratulations to all of our members and support staff for all your work, time, and assistance in preparing for and implementing the upgrade. Our members performed the most extensive and responsive pre-upgrade testing to date. Over 190 library staff members attended the live webinars, and the recorded version has been watched over 300 times. The documentation is growing by leaps and bounds as you send in questions and notes about changes. We appreciate your continued patience over the next couple of weeks as we continue to discover and address the new interfaces, workflows and features.
If you or your staff were not been able to attend a live class and would like to review the changes associated with the upgrade, the taped version of the training along with the documentation is available here: 2.5 Upgrade Resource Page.
Just 10 more pages…
Readers will be delighted to hear that any item with the “Book” circulation modifier is now eligible for up to 2 renewals. Materials needed to fill holds will continue to be prioritized for the next person in queue, but we hope this will be an added benefit for users who are leisurely enjoying lower demand titles.
