by Vicki Teal 21 Apr '25

21 Apr '25

Hi, We have an ILS Evaluation Lead Workgroup scheduled for Wednesday, May 7 at 11:30 am. We are proposing that this time be used to host a webinar with library staff who may be interested in asking questions about Symphony and/or Enterprise, etc. in a virtual forum. Are you interested in participating in this webinar (as "hosts" and possibly as resources for questions)? We would like to change the start time to 11 am. Please let me know your thoughts on this proposal. Thanks! Vicki Teal Lovely (she/her) Helping our member libraries provide the best possible service to the public.

by Vicki Teal 12 Mar '25

12 Mar '25

Dear members of the Evaluation Lead Workgroup, The COSUGI (SirsiDynix / HUG user group) is in Milwaukee from April 15-1. SirsiDynix has offered us a number of free registrations. We would like to extend this for 1 to 3 members of the workgroup. SCLS can also cover the cost of the conference hotel for up to 3 nights. Other expenses—transportation, parking and food—will need to be covered by the attendee. Some meals are included in the conference. I apologize for the short turn around, but if you would like to attend, please let me know by Friday morning (March 14 if possible). We do ask that you attend the bulk of the conference and not just one day, for example. https://cosugi.org/conference Vicki Vicki Teal Lovely (she/her) Helping our member libraries provide the best possible service to the public.

SirsiDynix virtual site visit with Oshkosh Technical Services staff Thursday, Jan. 30 at 1pm
by Amy Gannaway 27 Jan '25

27 Jan '25

Hello! We will hold a virtual site visit covering SirsiDynix Technical Services on Thursday, January 30 at 1pm. The site visit is expected to last approximately an hour. This will be an informal meeting with staff from Oshkosh Public Library. The meeting with focus more on Acquisitions, although we can touch on Cataloging as well. Oshkosh does not use the Serials module so we will not review Serials. Oshkosh is using SirsiDynix Workflows, which is the staff client for SirsiDynix. For Technical Services Acquisitions, we are looking at SymphonyWeb, which has the same interface as Workflows, except that it is used in a browser, so even though Oshkosh is not using the exact same thing that we are looking at, they are using something that looks the same and essentially works the same. For Cataloging, we are looking at a combination of BlueCloud and SymphonyWeb (meaning that library staff would likely use BlueCloud and the Madison Catalogers would use SymphonyWeb). I have created a registration form so I will have some idea of how many people to expect. Please respond to this survey by Tuesday, January 28, whether or not you are planning to attend. Here is the link to the registration form<https://forms.gle/8a5mcCDp1AucvJSc9>. The form also has a place to enter questions for Oshkosh staff.
