Teen Computers

Just a reminder that adult cards are not able to access Teen Computers.  Also, Teen Computers, as of today, will not have any sound.  Teens will need to have headphones or purchase them from the Circulation Desk.

Adobe Reader Update For Tax Forms

The latest version of Adobe Reader (For PDF Documents) has been installed on Reference Computers 13-17.  This should address the problem with forms that patrons fill out online, such as IT-201 and other PDF tax forms, and then print.

Overdrive App Problems Update

Overdrive updated their app on February 1st (and again on the 5th because of issues), and since then many users have experienced major issues with the app.
Depending on the error message patrons see when trying to download a book, Overdrive has suggestions as to what steps to take here: http://help.overdrive.com/customer/portal/articles/2323453

Most likely, patrons will have to deauthorize, then re-authorize the app itself.
Open Overdrive, tap the menu button in the upper left corner (the three stacked lines), go to Settings, tap Adobe ID, then deauthorize. Patrons will need to know the email address/password combo that the app was originally authorized with.

Veterans Center Books, etc...

Hi,

FYI: to make room for YA, the Veterans Center Books will be interfiled and
the newsletters will go in newspapers; Long Island and genealogy books
will be stored on shelves in hallway in lower level for easy access. 
Oversized books will stay on the shelving unit, which will be moved closer
to the Reference Desk.  This is all temporary, work is scheduled to take
about 3 months.

Thanks!
Susan

Overdrive App Problems

There are problems with an update Overdrive pushed out to their app on iOS devices. They know and are working to correct this issue. As a result patrons may discover that they have lost their checkouts and their reading history. It may help to uninstall and reinstall the app. SCLS will keep us updated with any notices they get from Overdrive. If there is anything SCLS can do please let me know – like returning titles so that they can check out new titles - I will submit problems through the SCLS Help Desk. Email me the particulars, most importantly patron's name and barcode #.

How to post comments?

I guess this is the method for posting, but don't know how to edit my post or add a comment to another post.
Did I miss a training session?

If you Sign in with a google account (Google owns blogger.com) you should be able to edit and comment. Since Google owns blogger they are trying to get everyone in the world to have a gmail account.
Remember you can always post by sending an email.
