LINC Update for August 15, 2006

WEBREPORTER 1.4 UPDATE

A new filter has been added to the WebReporter1.4 Report, Circulation>Statistics>Circulation by Collection Istat. This new filter allows you to select your own collection code/istats as well as your location. This fixes the report so it is now like the report in the old version of WebReporter.

We’ve also been informed by SirsiDynix that there is a ‘bug’ in the Circulation>Statistics>Interlibrary Loan w/o Local Checkouts report. This bug means that interlibrary loan stats are slightly lower than expected. Unfortunately, this bug will not be fixed until the next upgrade to WebReporter. For the most accurate report, use the Circulation>Statistics>Circulation by Collection Istat report to get this data.

RESETTING AUTO NOTICES

When a library needs to have auto notices ‘reset’ or ‘recompiled’, please contact LTLS automation (352-0047, x 1) for assistance with this. Be prepared with the following information:
1. What date were auto notices last successfully created and output?
2. If you are calling on Monday, do you also need them reset for Saturday and/or Sunday?
3. If your library has trapped holds for items checked in from the LTLS delivery or through normal checkout during the day you are calling, please include that information in your phone call, also.

LINC POLICY COUNCIL NOMINEES

The LINC Directors Group Nominating Committee has posted the list of LINC Policy Council candidates at this web site:
http://www.ltls.org/linccommittees/lpc/lpcmembers/LPCslate2006.html

Voting for the nominees will take place at the end of the month.

2006 - 083
PRINTING TRANSIT, HOLD SLIPS

Do you currently use a receipt printer or are you interested in using a receipt printer? If so, we can set Horizon so it will print out transit/hold slips at checkin and these slips can then be taped to the LTLS Delivery gold bands. This will cut down on the amount of writing you have to do and the amount of ‘deciphering’ of the writing that delivery staff have to do. Please contact the LTLS automation department if you are interested in this. There is no cost for the setup but receipt printers have to be purchased if you don’t already own one.
