Re: Millennium Offline Circulation

Karen,

This is happening at MARINet too. We've been down for the last two days and 
are using Offline circ for the first time since upgrading to Rel 2005.  It 
didn't use to happen with the earlier release.  I don't think that staff 
had found the workaround you did, however.

Thanks for the tip. I'll pass it along to staff.
