- Your library has been using Polaris for years. - You are the new Polaris administrator. - You've always done it this way, but what were the other ways you could do it? - All of the above!
The Polaris Academy offers a day long refresher course focused on 3 key areas of Polaris administration and use:
1. Technical Services Workflows 2. System Administration 3. Understanding and using the Polaris API (PAPI)
Being able to properly use Simply Reports and identifying errors in the catalog that can be corrected as a bulk change go hand in hand. This pre-conference will be a combination of two topics in one session. The first half of the session will introduce technical services staff to how Simply Reports functions, how to use it to gather department statistics, and how to use it to identify errors in the catalog. The second half of the session will introduce attendees to Leap's record set capabilities, including searching for record sets, creating record sets, and bulk changing records to correct the errors that were identified using Simply Reports. Attendees will be provided with worksheets with exercises to practice using Simply Reports and Leap. Attendees will need to bring a laptop computer and have access to both Simply Reports and Leap.
