For multiple installations, download Voyagerinstall.exe file to a flash drive and insert drive into the USB port of each machine to install. (Voyager 6.1 not immediately required for those who will use manual charges; must be installed June 14 th @ 5:00pm for those using offline backup)
• Make sure machines are backed up by the ADSN Backup. Visit www.accc.uic.edu
• These using manual circulation can input data once Voyager goes live
• Those using offline circulation will use the File Maker Pro database to enter patron data and item numbers
• Consult Basic Outline of Procedures to determine how to manage patrons during the downtime. Keep a copy next to work stations.
• No way to authenticate patrons during the downtime. Lisa & Mircea are looking to create a database of patrons to use during the downtime. Trying to determine how to include list of UB patrons.
• RUSH Catalog processing during downtime: circulate on-the-fly barcode catalog review flag & note attached so item can be cataloged upon return (Daley only).
• Recalls---Lisa O'Leary to run report of recalls prior to the downtime
