"Recent Issues"

You may have noticed the field "Recent Issues" appearing at the bottom of each and every holdings record in the Voyager catalog, like so:

Location: UH Hilo: READ Collection
Call Number: GV875.H35 T66 2006
Copy Number: Copy 1
Status: Not Checked Out
Recent Issues:

"Recent Issues" is a field that should only be on serials records, but it's showing up on all records - monographs, AV, Ebooks, etc.

According to Manoa, this is a glitch that comes and goes. It does not mean that everything has become a serial that we will now be checking in. It should go away one day, either with the upgrade to 7.0 or with an interim patch.

If a patron notices it, just tell them to ignore it.

Computer Access for Pac. Is. Group

Aloha,

On Thursday, January 8, I did a tour for a special group of 10 Pacific Islands students who will be here at UHH for only one semester. There is some confusion about getting them computer access. For now, if a student comes to the desk and identifies as being part of the Professional Internship Program* group, please use the mookini login for them.

If you have any questions, please let me know.

Thanks,
Amy S.

* Complete name - Professional Internship Program in Pacific Territorial Islands Ecosystems Management
