SXF Update

CARLI completed the upgrade from SFX v.3 to SFX v.4 earlier today. This is a behind-the-scenes change, so we shouldn't notice any problems. In fact, we might notice that the Get Article process is a teeny bit faster! If you do get any complaints about the Get Article button not working in a database, please let Emily or Jennie know right away. CARLI would like to be notified ASAP if anything unexpected happens.

Windows 7 Upgrade

So there have been many issues regarding the Windows 7 upgrade. First off the color printer will not print in color from any of the computers that have windows 7, which should only be the reference room right now. So, if a person wants to print in color, ask them to move to the 97lab, fishbowl, or the periodicals room.

Second, when you try to print an old document in Word from any of the computers with the Windows 7 upgrade it blocks it because of the macros. The way to solve this is to click the Microsoft Office Button, then the Word Options, click Trust Center, click Trust Center Settings, click Macro Settings, and then click Enable all Macros, and click ok. Have the patron save the document, then close out of word, and then reopen the document. They should be good after that. I have printed out these directions from the help screen and put them on the clip board if you need them.

Third, I have been getting reports of many things missing from this upgrade such as Maple and mathematical font from PowerPoint, I have told ITS these things and they say they will be solved by tomorrow. Please let me know if anyone reports anything else like this or that these things weren't actually solved so I can tell ITS right away.

I will try to keep you all updated, I guess they will be upgrading the fishbowl soon.

Thanks!
