Staring on July 10th (UPDATE: As of July 26th, this message has yet to be sent to users), Zinio app users will see a message guiding them to download Recorded Books Digital’s (RBD) new RBdigital app. This migration is a part of the company’s plan to merge all their content into one centralized location.  While RBD is anticipating a smooth merge, there’s always the possibility of down times, glitches, etc. During the actual merge, starting June 26th at 8 p.m., users can anticipate a down time of 14 hours (8 pm on 6/26-midnight on 6/28).

Yesterday we held two informational meetings at the Downtown Library to discuss upcoming departmental moves that will collocate departments across the system. We covered the need for the changes, goals of the move, the big picture for which departments will be moving and a general timeline.

With more reference sources available as ebooks/online and in order to make more room for heavier demand items, many of the libraries have been busy weeding their Continuations sections. Several business sections have shrunk but keeping our business priority in mind, we were able to add several of these important (but hefty, expensive, and little used!) sources to Mergent Online. Mergent Online is an Internet-based suite of information resources that enables in-depth business and financial research.

In April, we were informed that our current intranet and website provider was conducting updates and migrations to newer hosting software.  Due to our host’s delays, they postponed this project until Sunday, June 4th, 2017.
