Salutations!
There have been several requests for the return of the Monday ‘Minder, so I will do my best! I will also be recruiting ‘Minders from other staff. If YOU have an idea for a Monday ‘Minder, and would like to share, please let me know!
That said, I have 1 new tech trick and an “oldie, but goodie” ‘Minder to kick us off.
Today’s Tech Tip: Do you use Chrome, Firefox, or Brave as your default browser? Does it annoy you that whenever you click on a link in Outlook it opens in Edge—even tho’ you have already set a default browser? Or that it automatically opens Excel or Word files in a browser? Here’s how to fix it:

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.
