COUNTER AND INTOTA 101 WEBINARS
Did you miss last week's Intota webinars? Recordings of CLIC's August 14 training sessions for Counter and Intota 101 are now available to view online. Please see your library's Implementation Team representative for links to the recordings. 

SUMMON SEARCH RESULTS
The Implementation Team is aware of the problem of duplicate records showing up in Summon search results, and we are working with our Proquest implementation manager to help troubleshoot the issue.  Proquest is processing a new CLIC data load this weekend, which should eliminate a portion of the duplicate results. In addition, Proquest's Intota development team is working with our implementation manager to resolve the overall duplication problem for CLIC.

ERM TRAINING AT UST
A big thank you to St. Thomas for offering to provide additional ERM training for the Implementation Team and e-resources staff. Training will be scheduled in late September.  See your Implementation Team representative for further information.

QUESTIONS? If you have any questions or concerns related to CLIC's Summon and Intota implementation, please do not hesitate to speak with your library's Implementation Team representative.

Assessment Training Coming Soon

Implementation Team Update, August 4, 2014

INTOTA ASSESSMENT
ProQuest is processing and testing CLIC's data sent in by the Implementation Team. Training on Intota Assessment will be offered in two sessions.  First, the Implementation Team and others responsible for inputting data will have Counter training in mid-August.  This training webinar will be recorded for staff who are unable to attend. Later in September, after all of CLIC's data has been successfully ingested, ProQuest will schedule Intota Assessment training for CLIC library staff interested in generating reports.

INTOTA MANAGEMENT
The next phase of CLIC's implementation of Intota will be Intota Management components, starting with Resource Manager.  The Implementation Team's work on Intota Management will overlap with the Team's continued implementation of Intota Assessment. The Team's first step is review of ProQuest's recorded training session, Intota 101. CLIC library staff interested in the Intota 101 training video should contact their Implementation Team representative for information on how to access the recording.

SUMMON 2.0
The Implementation Team is continuing to work with ProQuest to improve CLIC libraries' data and search results in Summon. We hope to have most of the issues resolved before the start of the new semester.
