SCLS website re-design survey available

You’ve been asking for a re-design of the SCLS website, and now that most library websites have been migrated to Drupal we are officially embarking on the re-design of our website. And you can help!

We have created a brief survey to collect feedback from library staff members, trustees, and others who might use the SCLS website. We’re interested in what you look for most often, and what you’d like to see that either isn’t on the website, or isn’t easy to find. You can access the survey using the link above, or you can access the survey from the SCLS homepage.

Your input will help shape the final product, and to encourage your participation we’re going to have a drawing for 20 Amazon Gift cards valued at $10 each. To have your name entered in the drawing, simply complete the survey by the end of the day on Dec. 3, 2015, and be sure to provide your name and email address when you complete the survey. On Dec. 4 we’ll use a random number generator to select the 20 gift card recipients.

Thank you in advance for taking time to complete this survey!

Moving from Library Online to MyPC

As you probably already know, SCLS is moving from Library Online to MyPC (time management) and Papercut (print management). We are happy to report that we have 4 sites up and running on both MyPC and Papercut and 1 site up and running MyPC only. Many thanks to Oregon Public Library and Madison Public Library's Meadowridge, Goodman South Madison, Hawthorne, and Central locations for taking the initial plunge with us! We've received great questions and feedback which will help make the rest of our rollouts go more smoothly. 

If your library uses Library Online, here's how you can prepare for the upcoming rollout:

• ​Read over the MyPC documentation and FAQ
• Watch the archived "MyPC Basics" webinar if you haven't already done so

For libraries that will be going live with MyPC only (no Papercut)--- last week we sent an email to each library's contact asking them to sign up for their library's "Go Live" date. In the next couple of weeks, we will be getting in touch with each library's contact person again to talk more about desired MyPC settings.

For libraries that will be going live with MyPC and Papercut---- we're already in touch with some of you to talk about plans, and the rest of you should be hearing from us soon.
