Phase 1 Review Deadline Extended to Novemer 30


As reported on the LibNews and Collier Library Weeding blogs on November 1, we have been experiencing intermittent problems with the online candidate lists for our ongoing weeding project. We have been unable to isolate the cause of the problem, but it is currently under investigation.

 
Because of the difficulties with the online lists, we are extending Phase 1 (LC Class P) review through November 30.  Please complete your review of Phase 1 (in-person or online) by this date.  

As you work with the online lists, we recommend that you use Chrome or Firefox. The ongoing problems seem to be most frequently encountered by those using Internet Explorer. When reviewing the candidate lists, please make sure that you click the “Save” button at the top left side of the screen before exiting the page. After your recommendations have been successfully saved, you should briefly see a “Your input has been saved” message at the top of the screen. Please be patient when saving changes, especially for lists that have a large number of items. Some users have reported receiving an “unresponsive page” error with Chrome. However, those that choose the “wait” option report that their changes do save successfully.

Thanks again for your participation in the project.

Online Candidate List Problems

We have received reports of intermittent problems with our online candidate lists. We are currently investigating the issue. We apologize for any inconvenience.

Review Reminders

Online Review

As you review the online candidate lists, please remember to click the "Save" button at the top left side of the screen before exiting the system. It may take a few minutes to save the recommendations, especially for call numbers with a large number of candidates. After your recommendations have been successfully saved to the system, you should see "Your input has been saved" at the top of the list. If you do not see this message, your recommendations have not been saved.

Print Review

When reviewing the print candidates, please make sure to check the appropriate call numbers in the oversize section (third floor). This will be particularly important for subject areas with a large number of oversize books (for example, art).

Problems/Questions

If you have any problems reviewing the candidates or have questions about the process, please contact collectiondevelopment@una.edu.
