Issue #8 - BCA Training Wrap-up, Sign-in to EBSCO Folder in Enterprise, and A WorkFlows Function Alert

Issue #8


Hello, All! 

This issue of the SirsiDynix Gazette details a new feature in Enterprise, reviews last week's BCA training, and alerts circulation staff to a WorkFlows function issue.

Enterprise: Sign-in to EBSCO folder from Enterprise 

EBSCO made some tweaks to the EDS API, which feeds the second tab in Enterprise. There is now a login to the EBSCO folder on the detailed record (accessed by clicking the full text / cite / more button), and the toolbar now mimics the toolbar settings in all our EBSCO databases.

Instructions on how to sign-in to your EBSCO folder from the EDS tab in ENterprise may be found here.

Blue Cloud Analytics Training Review

The first round of BCA training for Librarians on Oct 13th was a success. There were a lot of great questions and feedback in both sessions, resulting in tweaks made to the templates and ideas for new templates. Keep those suggestions coming!

If you missed the first round of training or would like a repeat, another session is being offered October 27th at 2pm. Sign up for the second session here.

Training materials will be added to the wiki following the completion of training.

WorkFlows Function Alert

Please do not use the Bookdrop Checkin wizard to check-in reserve items!

The time stamp on this wizard records the check-in as either one minute before noon or one minute before midnight (depending on whether the action is being done in the morning or afternoon). This can cause some reserve items to be recorded as late and as a result, WorkFlows will charge the patron the item appropriate late fee.

To avoid this issue, please use the normal Checkin wizard when checking-in reserve items.
