Meeting called to order at 10:35.

Next meeting, July 19, 2012 – 10:30-1:30.

Al updated the group on the new circulation program.

It is now set up so that most libraries in the system can download the practice software. Al will give usernames and passwords for this purpose.
Al has made some changes in the visual appearance of the program even as late as yesterday. If people haven’t looked at it for a while, it might look a little different.

Next meeting, April 19, 2012, from 10:30 am to 1:30 pm.

Al discussed the new circulation and editing program

Al is making the new program as much as possible like the one we presently use. If compared to a car, the body style is the same, but the engine is changed exponentially.
Central Lake started with the trial program on January 25, so not much experimental time yet.
Tried doing things that we normally do to see differences.

NuGen Users Group Meeting

Was a great idea; I learned a lot.
Al - can we schedule a date/time for you to come and install LibNet and CatEdit on to a new computer? LibNet Reports seems to have disappeared from our of our staff computers also. Thanks!
When you are here, we'll talk about the new Item and Call # designations we need. I am especially anxious to get the OVERSIZE categories set up so I can separate this collection before summer. Give me a date & Time.

I would like to try this - balancing costs vs convenience. I need to know the paper product stock code for the paper used, tho: Avery #_________ or Quill #___________ ???

thanks

Tuesday's meeting was very productive and I learned several things I should have known - like running a Renewals Report and adding them to the monthly or yearly totals.
Actually, that is one thing I would like to see changed in the Circ program - have the renewals calculated automatically each day along with the items checked out.
I'm glad Al mentioned he will soon add a copy and paste option in the circ program for all the MeLCat users who end up typing those 14 digit numbers several times a day. Great!
