The intent is to eliminate some of the issues that we have been seeing over the last few months. The first stage has already been completed, but it is necessary to wait so that I can monitor performance of the replacement server before purging the original server. The upgraded libapps will be known as blog or blog.library.temple.edu. I expect the entire process to be completed no later than 9/7/2006

The quickest and cleanest way to address the situation was to proceed immediately to changes previously described by Byron in his e-mail of 6/22, and originally scheduled for July 1st, in which "the default search in the catalog for most users will be 'View entire collection'" and would "replace the current default 'All locations except Law' for all locations except Law and Rome." Subsequent to these changes, which derive from IP-range determined opac logins, a number of individual Diamond screens had to edited to completely remedy the situation. Should the previous behavior be discovered when using a particular screen or search in Diamond, please notify Systems immediately.
