Announcements
Billings Public School District to go live in August!
We are in the final stages of migrating the Billings Public School District into the MSC. Expect to see those 32 libraries appearing on item records in the catalog in the next week. We will announce when the schools are officially live with the MSC in August.
Enterprise 'Content Type' for sound recordings
In March we announced that we were adding a new ‘Content Type’ line in Enterprise search results to better distinguish between audio books and music sound recordings at a glance. After a delay, we are now ready to make this live. This information will come from the 336 bib record fields. Thanks to the CMC for their help on this update!
Batch add item prices for accurate collection value
Looking to get an accurate collection value for your library or are you having lost items being billed to patrons with no item price listed? MSC can batch change your library’s item prices to a default number.
If you’re curious as to what your collection value currently is, check out the BCA reports in the ‘Collection Value’ folder. The folder can be found by navigating from ‘Shared Reports > Collection Information > Collection Value.’ If you have any questions or if you’d like batch changes, please open a help desk ticket.
