RE: Auditing the Innovative system

["Seeman, Corey Glenn" <CSeeman at UTNet dot UToledo dot Edu>]

Aline -- 

I am not sure if someone has taken a system from top to bottom as suggested.  However, Cheryl Gowing (University of Miami) and I did a session on this topic at the meeting in Houston (2002) that touch upon many of these topics and addressed theses issues from a conceptual point of view.  The title was: 
"Mid-life Crisis" of an INNOPAC System: Re-evaluating Workflow and the Use of your Innopac System 

URL for my slides: http://library.utoledo.edu/userhomes/cseeman/presentations/IUG2002/IUG2002_MLC.pdf
URL for proceedings (IUG password required): http://www.innovativeusers.org/iug2002/programs/E1/index.html

I do not have Cheryl's slides, but hers were more detailed and focused on specific tasks that they did.

Also Barb Anderson (Case Western Reserve University) did a presentation that year on Loan Rule Audits.  The info is on the IUG website and requires the IUG password.  Here is the session page: http://www.innovativeusers.org/iug2002/programs/I3/index.html

I am not sure what has been done at the last two meetings, but I think as circulation parameters have moved into Millennium, some of the methods that can be used to check and clean the tables has changed (for the better).

Hope this helps --

Subject: Auditing the Innovative system


We have a "middle-aged" system at Cal State, Hayward and are interested
in "auditing" the system to clean up codes, etc., etc.  I reviewed a
presentation called "System Administration on a Mature System" from the
last IUG meeting; however, that doesn't deal with a systematic approach
to reviewing all the codes and, hopefully, simplifying the ever-growing
complexity that results as these lists of codes expand and must be
integrated with loan tables, etc., etc.

If anyone has developed a systematic way of addressing a complete review
of their system from the system administration (per the presentation)
through the codes to what will ideally be a "streamlined" and more
efficient system, I'd appreciate knowing about it and having a contact
that I can speak to about this.

Thanks so much.
