The Monthly Checkouts and Renewals and Monthly Checkouts and Renewals by Municipality statistics from June through December have been updated online. The original June statistics posted online were incorrect. They included the May renewal figures - something we didn't discover until last week. (Thanks, Vicki for pointing this out!)
The total difference was only 298 renewals, but since it affected the total annual figures, we updated all of the monthly spreadsheets.
If you have questions, please contact Gerri at the OWLS office.

The last two days, we've sent out some odd Search Shelves Before Billing reports. Yesterday, we included old bi-weekly Search Shelves reports, and sent them to everyone, instead of the few libraries who should have received them. Today, we sent out all sorts of blank Search Shelves Before Billing reports.
I should have known better than to try to implement the new Search Shelves reports with barcodes at the same time that Patty is breaking in her new PC. My apologies for the confusion - I believe that tomorrow the reports will be correct. Third time's the charm, right?

As of this morning, anyone hitting http://www.infosoup.org with a supported Smartphone will be redirected to http://m.infosoup.org, which is the new version of our site for mobile devices. This is an Innovative product called AirPAC, which we purchased with an LSTA grant. You can click on the link in any browser, to see what InfoSoup To Go! will look like (but imagine a much smaller screen.) Even though the Smartphones are redirected, users can still can access the main InfoSoup site by using the "Main Site" link.
Supported Smartphones include the iPhone, the iPod Touch with WiFi, and the Blackberry Storm. Other Smartphones may also be redirected to this mobile URL, because the browsers on these phones identify themselves in the same way as the supported Smartphones.
Not all Smartphones are supported. Users with unsupported Smartphones may use the older version of AirPAC at http://www.infosoup.org/airpac. Again, you can take a look by clicking on the link.
If you have questions, please call, or send me an email. More information about promoting AirPAC will be forthcoming!

This morning, we learned that the default new item template had disappeared. We opened a call with Innovative to investigate this, and also recreated the template as soon as we could. A few libraries called us after the change, and let us know exactly how it worked before, and those changes were made right away.
Unfortunately, there were a few things we were unable to recreate. Previously there were a few blank fixed fields, and those are no longer available. We've chosen default fields in their place. While things may look a little different, the template should function exactly the same as before, as those fixed fields need to be customized by the library.
