Snipping Tool Tip

Submitted by klein on

Anytime you see an error message, we recommend you take a screenshot to show us, so that we can see the exact error and the context. 

An easy way to take a screenshot is to use the Snipping Tool that comes as part of Windows. We've talked about the Snipping tool before, showing how it can take a screenshot of part of a screen or an entire window, and offers pens to circle relevant parts of the screenshot

Reminder: Adding Magazine Issues

Submitted by klein on

Hi guys,

Just as a reminder, if you're adding a magazine issue, do remember to fill in all ItemCats for the item; they're all important, as blanks or incorrect values for ItemCats can be seen both on monthly stat reports, and in the catalog's filters.

ItemCat1 is for the broad type of material. Monthly stats rely on ICat1 to tell you generally what's circulating at your library.

If they do, there is still a prevailing perception that "we don't need libraries any more, we've got the internet."  Here is a video that helps illustrate the power and value of libraries in a way that the public, your county boards, municipal councils, etc can understand. Please share.
