[iBorrow] Palm Harbor Update and New Build Reminder

[Al Carlson]

iBorrow Users

Congratulations!  We are 20% larger than we were a few days ago.  No,
this is not a Weight Watchers issue.  I mean that we have added an
iBorrow participant, and URSA/iBorrow now searches six servers instead
of five.  (If you count specific library buildings, it's not as big a
deal.  I'll let you do the math on that)

Palm Harbor Public Library and East Lake Community Library are now
pretty much full iBorrow participants.  They bumped up from Horizon 7.2
to Horizon 7.3.3 on Monday and came up on iBorrow on Tuesday and
Wednesday.  I think an appropriate comment is, "Wow!"

We and SirsiDynix are still tweaking various parts of the software to
get everything working right.  As of ten minutes ago, a Portal search
would show their titles, but the 'availability' tab would show only the
Location and the Due Date.  By the time you read this, that will
probably be fixed.  

As other New Participant glitches emerge, we'll pounce on them and fix
them as quickly as we can.

And, speaking of fixes, SirsiDynix said in today's Conference Call that
the new build will be here tomorrow (Friday) and should have all the
promised goodies.  Except one.  The 'user friendly' status messages in
the "My Account" part of the portal go lost in the software conveyor
belt somewhere.  They'll have to wait for the next build.

If you run into new build problems Friday, please let us know.
If the new build works wonderfully and makes you want to teach the world
to sing in perfect harmony, tell us that, too.
