Please refer to Catherine’s earlier posting as a reminder on timing and details. This note adds a few specifics:

a) Your PC should be shutdown overnight – not just logged off.The restart on Wednesday should put on the new Horizon client – but don’t use it until we say.

b) During the upgrade, it won’t be possible to turn off the RFID security. We may have to live with this although we are hopeful of having the SelfService kiosks up quickly. There is a way of changing the security set-up but we can’t test it without disrupting existing circulation. If we run into delays with the upgrade, we will look to implement this.

c) New buttons/menu options to ignore. In CKO there is a new menu option “Enable RFID” and a new button “End Session”. Don’t use either. The first is a 3M specific function and will break our RFID services. The second is for public libraries using rentals. We, and others, have asked SirsiDynix for a way to hide these.

And remember – when we give you the go ahead to start using Horizon on Wednesday – check your database setting at the time of login is CULIB.
