Major Activities/ Meetings Completed

• Weekly Call

• Memphis has decided to postpone their go live. They want to push out the date to sometime between March 15 and June 14 which is the end of their fiscal year. ..

• An Oracle related Memory Leak was discovered at Memphis. Damon put a 10.1.0.5 instant client in place which is a temporary fix and which should resolve the memory/swap issues for the short term.

• Gena Wilhite sent Memphis a quote for billable systems configuration. It was accepted by Memphis and returned to SirsiDynix. Jeannie is investigating possible dates that this work can be done.

• A request has been sent to Jennifer Hendrickson for her to respond to Memphis’ question regarding migrating call numbers with mixed case. She is working on her responses to the most recent data log.

• Alan feels that there is a rooms training piece missing regarding EPS/Rooms configuration and populating the user database and configuring searches. These are things that have to work before they go live and which they have had little or no training for. Additionally, they want to do something similar to Bloomington and keep their own home page with a login and search box from EPS/Rooms on the regular web page. Alan sent emails in reference to these issues to Jeannie Peters and copied the Rooms team on it.

• Memphis is extremely disappointed that we had to ask them for the EPS/Rooms customization spreadsheet again. This was given to us last year on schedule and it appears that nothing has been done with the information. They do not currently have a functioning OPAC. When they do a keyword search they get no results and an error message. [Correction: The basic keyword search does work - use of Item Group limiters does not work in Basic Search. -- AS, 01/24/07] Advanced limits specifications cannot be set. They want to know what happened on our end and why this work was never done. Jeannie Peters will pursue this.

• Memphis requested that Steve McCafferty be approached regarding their contract to see if he is waiting on responses or information from Memphis.
