In the beginning of September, SCLS staff made some minor updates to desktop shortcuts on SCLS-supported public PCs.
- Removed: 2020 Census
- Added: Acrobat Reader DC
The Tech Team received a request from a library in March to investigate adding PDF editing capability to the public stations. Adobe Acrobat (full version, not Reader) is by far the most known product and has many features, but it is also very expensive. Lumin PDF is a web-based subscription that is potentially viable for SCLS libraries, but it does not appear to have any additional features to what is included in the free Adobe Acrobat Reader, which is already installed on SCLS-supported PCs. After a trial of Lumin, the Technology Committee indicated in August that they were in favor of not purchasing Lumin and voted to create an Adobe Acrobat Reader shortcut on the desktop instead.
