WML Tech Updates

1. Rachel attended a Microsoft Access workshop on Tuesday and Wednesday, Nov. 30 and Dec. 1 here in Nashville. She learned a heck of a lot, and has already started implementing some of the skills she learned at the workshop.
2. By the next Staff Meeting, Rachel will have condensed the list of possible slogans to about 5, and will gather input as to what folks like about the ones that they voted for. She hopes that you enjoyed the little poll. Again, the slogan won’t be set in stone (yet), as Brent and Rachel are still in the development stages.
3. The GIS Task Force (which includes both Rachel and Rahn) will be meeting next week, Tuesday, December 14, 10-11 am in the Peabody Library.
4. From November 29-December 3, LITS interviewed candidates for the 2 vacant LITS positions. On Friday, Dec. 3, Rachel went out to eat with one of the candidates.
5. Next week, Rahn and Rachel will meet with Deb to discuss NetContent, the service that WML is currently using for Alumni. R & R currently have access to their new product called Scoop, and are in the process of evaluating it, and looking at it’s potential and possible use with BIS as well.
6. Public Workstation #4 is STILL in Danny’s Office. Danny reassured Rachel that he’ll get to it soon, and that the library should have happy public workstations before the next mod starts..
7. Laura and Rachel have successfully (they think) set up Ariel, and are in the process of testing by sending emails with either pdf or tiff attachments in-house and to testers outside the Owen network. Woo Hoo!
8. Rachel has set up Dr. Appointments with many people’s computers to do upgrades and maintenance. If she hasn’t scheduled one with your computer yet, she will.

Have a good weekend, everyone! Thanks for your attention and time!
