Greetings! 

At Friday's AAC meeting, we covered the following:

• OWLS will be printing Ecommerce bookmarks.  We'll send out an announcement once they're done and available to order.
  
• In order to cut fewer checks at OWLS, we will now be sending out Ecommerce checks when the total amount collected equals $50, rather than $10.
• The proposed Itype changes were accepted.  We'll be updating item records and sending out an announcement when the work is completed. 
• We decided to proceed with the Online Patron Registration and ShoutBomb grants. 
  
• The vote to change the music checkout period from 4 weeks to 2 weeks was inconclusive.  We'll be polling the libraries who weren't available for the vote and will send out a separate announcement when the vote is complete.

This morning (Wednesday, May 11) there was a problem with the holdshelf.  This resulted in thousands of items "falling off" of the clear holdshelf report.  Innovative installed a fix on our system, and once the Millennium client is restarted, the holdshelf should be working correctly again. 

On the evening of Monday, May 9, an update will be applied to the Millennium system.  There will be no downtime, but after the installation, logins will take a little longer, as new jar files will be downloaded. 

For most libraries, the new jar files will be downloaded Tuesday morning, May 10. 

A few updates will be applied to our system, including updating Millennium to R2009B 1.3 and fixing a few small  known issues.

UPDATE 9:47 AM The problem has been resolved and email is working again.  We'd made some changes to the email system over the weekend that were causing a problem.  Those changes have been reversed, and email is now working correctly.

8:30 AM Email is not working this morning. We're working on the problem and will post again when we know when the problem will be resolved.
