Hi Deanna, I have been using Vandelay live for about two weeks now, and I have noticed (and told the guys) that there are issues refreshing the page --- sometimes you have to reload Vandelay to see what you've just done as updated. So, sometimes it's done it, but it doesn't show that it's done it ... does that make any sense? Note, though, that I haven't tried it with authorities, just with bibliographic records. If you can watch the video at home or something I would very much recommend it -- I found it to be very helpful with the basics of Vandelay. Andrea ==============

I wanted to play around with Vandelay a bit, so I tried importing a few batches that I created from our Horizon database. I have managed to get Vandelay to say it has imported 1 bib record, which is a pretty poor result out of 300 in that batch. However, it only pulled the leader from the record and ignored everything else. I tried importing a single authority, just to see if I needed to do those first. When I used the UTF-8 format on the authority, it appeared to load but seems to hang after I check the record queue and select the "Import Selected" action. This is as far as I seem able to go. Any advice? I tried the wiki, but I cannot access the videos there because of a restriction on streaming video on staff computers. Silly, I know, but I can't get them to let up on that rule. Thanks in advance! Deanna Deanna Frazee Killeen City Library System (254) 501-8995 (254) 501-7704 (fax) [email protected]
