LINC Update

Kindle and MyMediaMall

Just announced at the Overdrive (MyMediaMall) vendor web site are details about the beginning negotiation to provide Amazon Kindle Books on Overdrive (MyMediaMall) sites.  This will take some time but progress is being made to provide Kindle e-book titles to library users.  More information will be announced as it becomes available.

Horizon 7.5a Upgrade Update

Thanks for your patience as we work to resolve minor problems associated with the April 7 & 8 upgrade. Overall, the upgrade went surprisingly well.  The web catalog was available for searching by Thursday afternoon, and library staff were able to log back in to Horizon by 10:00 am on Friday April 8, which was much earlier than originally planned. There are still a few remaining issues:

• Duplicate history blocks in the borrower history file
• Debt Collect issues for a few libraries
• WebReporter reports that are not returning results

For those of you that used PC Reliance during the downtime, we successfully processed over 8,000 transactions.  

Please continue to report additional problems to the LINC automation staff, 217-352-0047 x1.
