Updates from Paige
- Preparing to upgrade Voyager
- We will be able to set up Voyager so that there is one set of files to maintain instead of seventy-six sets. – Much more efficient in terms of space and maintenance. Not likely to effect performance noticeably.
- VuFind – Still awaiting Version 1. A few things need to be tweaked before the “text me this call number” feature can be implemented.
- Minutes and Agenda – Are in the CARLI Office, waiting to be put on the website.
- Search Box Page is being worked on. Paige is working on the form’s and the form’s output’s accessibility.
- VuFind Usage Statistics – there have been some requests for these stats. –Looking at the log data in different ways. – Trying to get what libraries are really looking for is challenging.
Timing of the Voyager Upgrade was addressed. One concern raised was how will this affect Acquisitions and the end of year spending? Paige explained that the rationale for upgrading Voyager in June was that it needed to be done sooner, rather than later. This has the greatest impact on the Public Catalog.
- WebVoyage in training mode – once its available have staff look at. – Some training may be in order.
