OTHER

Early in the week of December 4 we were notified that a planned upgrade to SIRSI 99.4.2 was advanced to the weekend of December 8-10. I would like to thank Cataloguing Committee members and former Cataloguing Committee member Daphne Clunies who participated in working through our standard checklist of features to test in the upgrade. I would also like to thank Walter Griffatong and Howard Hui of LCS who kept us informed of when it was necessary to upgrade our programs, screens and bitmaps in the test database during the week and were always available to answer our questions.
