Re: Acquisitions POs in Millennium

[Stephen Savage <ssavage at mail dot sdsu dot edu>]

Hi Adriene!

I can't offer any help with your questions, but was so happy to see your 
name and to read a message that I really enjoyed reading because sounds so 
much like you, that I just had to write back right away and say hi. So, 
"hi!" How are things going, esp. the migration to III? Even if the 
migration isn't going as smoothly as you'd hoped (they probably never do), 
I'm sure you'll be very glad about having done it once you're settled into 
the new system. We aren't using Millennium for cataloging or acquisitions 
yet, just the old character-based system. We just loaded Millennium Silver 
a couple of weeks ago. I need to organize a project to investigate it's 
cataloging and acquisitions modules so we can decide if we want to switch 
to it or wait for more improvements in later releases. From what I've 
heard, though, Silver is supposed to be the big step forward for both these 
modules, so hopefully we'll find it wonderful and just won't be able to 
switch to it fast enough. Or, whatever, you know?

I just came back from a 2-day, whirlwind trip to Denver. It was a site 
selection trip for future NASIG conferences, and it was a frantic day and a 
half. Four hotels there had submitted proposals to host our 2006 
conference, so in a day and a half we were dragged through meetings and 
presentations and hotel tours and city tours and etc. etc. etc. It was all 
very interesting, but pretty tiring. I was sort of glad to be back at work 
this morning, but I'm so tired from that trip (not to mention my return 
flight be 4 1/2 hours late, so I didn't make it to bed until 2:00 this 
morning), that I've decided I'm going to take the afternoon off and go to 
the beach. So there! and even Ah-hah!! Can't let work feel as if it has the 
upper hand in your life, right?

Please say hi to Mary, Barbara, Jeff, Charles and Richard for me, and take 
care.

Steve
