A reminder that Horizon will be upgraded tomorrow. When you next login after today, your PC should get the updated client – it is a quick install so shouldn’t hold you up for too long.

Thanks, Peter K

Hi everyone,

We have a stash of white A4 file storage boxes on Level 5 that used to house the unreported judgments.

Like this one but they have stickers on the spine

Please let me know by next Thursday (13th) if you would like 1 or all of them. Otherwise I will recycle them.

Thanks
Theresa

We may be doing a small Horizon upgrade over Show Weekend.

This upgrade does not change the way Horizon functions – although a new client will be released. It is a small upgrade to add in some background features for BlueCloud compatibility in future. We have been testing it for several months and haven’t seen anything of concern – or indeed anything different.

If we go ahead with this (which is likely) I’ll send out more information next week.

Regards, Peter K

Those of you on NZLibs will have seen this, but for those of you who have not there is a copy of the recently revised University of Auckland Digitization Guidelines available on the AUL website

Over the years AUL have published a number of documents in this area which have been very helpful to other libraries. As we re-work our own digital strategies, I hope we can contribute to some of the public conversations happening within the Library and heritage sector.

The look of our Multisearch results will change over Show Weekend as we move to Summon 2.0. This was something we originally intended to do in January this year, but postponed because some other Libraries reported teething problems.

These seem to have been sorted-out and Summon 2.0 is now the norm. it brings a new look, and additional functions (e.g. it works much better than the original on mobile sites). Reports from other Libraries suggest that students adapt easily.

There are details of the changes on the Summon pages on Camelot.

You can look at the Summon 2.0 interface now by searching using this link.

After implementation, we will review Summon 2.0 to see if there are changes needed in the background settings.

In Outlook there is now an email address _LR Library which will send out an email to every member of the Library Staff. To be used with caution …

Gobi’s Select green lights function is working now. LLs are able to submit their orders to Library Access and Collections via Gobi again.

ITS advise there are some, as yet undefined, problems with the SONAS system that stores our P: drives and K: drives. They may be slow, and it would be worth ensuring you save work regularly. Hopefully we will get more details soon.

Gobi’s Select green lights function is not working at present so LLs are unable to submit their orders to Library Access and Collections via Gobi temporarily .

We have reported this problem to vendor.
