Extra Credit Opportunity: CSDirect

I know you're probably one of the many people who are really excited about the new ILS and you're chomping at the bit to get more than a preview of Millennium. Yes, the Getting to Know Millennium Training Session is next week (9/12 from 2-4 in the Program Room sign up to attend!). That will be a great preview of Millennium and Web CAT, but you want more.



We now have access to CSDirect, the customer service web site for Millennium. There is a lot of great information on this site including FAQs (frequently asked questions), news, user guides and manuals, but what sparked my interest was the Tutorials section.



You'll need the username and password to access this, but just ask your friendly departmental ILS Ambassador or IDT member and you'll be on your way to teacher's pet heaven because I'm betting Jason Boland, our Millennium Trainer from Innovative, will give extra credit to anyone who is extra prepared for the training later this year.


Feel free to go through any of these tutorials when time permits. Basic Millennium will be required for everyone attending the October 23-25 training session which covers WebPAC searching, Database Evaluation, Systems Administration, Web PAC Administration, Circulation Parameters, and Aquisition Parameters. There are also tutorials for WebPAC, Millennium Serials, and Millennium Circulation, which are among the modules we purchased, so you may want to check those out too.


The IDT wants you to have every opportunity to be prepared for the new system. Checking out CSDirect is one way you can start getting to know our new Integrated Library System.

But if I post my answer, then everyone will see it! Plus, people *might* find out that I had to do some internet research to find the little dude's name; I didn't really know him. Oh, well. Here goes: Spot Helperman disguised as Scott Leadready II. Close enough?
