Welcome to the 2015-2016 School Year!

The library will need to prepare for a new school year.



· Calendar
o   Set closed dates during the school year
o   Set ceiling date (date in June that ALL items need to be back in the library) for each patron group. Please remember that once that ceiling date passes, circulation reverts to regular parameters.
· Patrons
o   Merge any duplicated patrons
o   Set up email ‘supervisor’ for homerooms by going to Back Office>Site Configuration>Site Administration
o   Run and distribute overdues (Paper or email)
o   Learn how to handle book returns and lost book payments from ‘new- to- you’ students and faculty. Moving Up (Hint: Books and payments are sent to the previous library)

If your library has added subscription databases or received updated access information, One Search information needs to changed. Catalog>Search Setup>Enriched Content Searches. Click "One Search Database Information" and then Edit. You can review the databases that are configured in One Search. You can remove out-of-ate databases or add new subscriptions.

To help you with these tasks, video tutorials are linked here 
If you have any questions or need help, please contact the Library Automation Team.

Catalog Settings

Catalog Settings
You've always been able to customize the catalog interface for students.

  • Want to sort by ‘Call number’ instead of the 'relevance'? Why? Easier to find items on the shelf.
  • Can you turn off the elementary interface and use standard? Why? The standard shows the open button for SLS eBooks.
  • Do you use the Follett suggested reading and interest levels? Why? If they are cluttering the results page, turn them off. Use the reading programs that your school supports.

 

To look at these settings, go to Back Office>Site Configuration and click on the Catalog sub tab.
