Salutations!
Today's Topic: Spring Housecleaning! aka Database Maintenance
Today's Tech Tip: Schedule sending an email
Just as one cleans out one's garden at certain times of the year, so I do periodic cleaning of our shared database and it is getting to be about that time. It is frustrating for patrons and staff to wade through search results with copies that say "Withdrawn" or "LongOverdue" or "Missing."
The obvious ones to clean up are all those items you weeded. You check out weeded items to your WD-XX user (ex WD-PO, for PoySippi), and that changes the status (Current Location) to WITHDRAWN2 which patrons can't see in the catalog. The next step is a report to move all those withdrawn items to a special, system-location of DISCARD. As I said, those are the obvious ones, but there are a bunch more. For example...

The upgrade of our email system to Office 365 is almost complete. For end users, this means access to the latest version of Microsoft Outlook, Word, Excel and PowerPoint from any internet-capable computer anywhere. The new system will save on infrastructure costs, and ensure that everyone is up to date with the latest security patches. While we are transitioning, and afterwards as well, you will still be able to use the version of Microsoft Office that you have on your computer. We will be contacting and coordinating with each library before they are moved to the new system.
