- OCRA upload problem – TA for PS148 (Peter R…) reported a problem uploading scanned articles, probably because of large file size. After checking with Shelley and Bart, I advised him of preferred settings (300 dpi, greyscale), but suggested that he bring in articles for the libray to scan if they were not needed in the first week.

On the Resource Guides, I have been wondering about the following:
1. Tracking the hits on each RG.
2. Adding my quarterly newsletters to each department as content on the RG.

Status: Birkin is working on picard web stats; newsletter will be added to News & Announcements section (Lee thinks rss will be beyond some faculty.) - SFX Menu Request
Direct import to RefWorks is available, but many people use Endnote and an import into endnote would be very useful.
There is information available in the Ex Libris documentation – Advanced SFX Management.ppt (Olybris Seminar)
