First and foremost colleagues,  I need to apologize for providing yesterday’s attendees of the COW meeting with misinformation.    No excuses, I screwed up.   Suffice it to say, I am thoroughly embarrassed about the error and regret any impact  this lack of complete information may have caused you.

What I failed to mention yesterday was the second step to be completed after you have assigned other staff in your library a “user management” role. 

After enabling the new “user management” permissions either the library director or the new mentor needs to  edit the profiles of any library staff members for which they will assume oversight. In the staff member profile, update the information in the Mentor Manager: field to the new information.  This will allow the new Mentor to assign courses and generate reports on the staff member’s progress.    

For more information, please refer to the following two documents.  Directions on generating reports for library staff coursework is provided in the “Introduction to SirsiDynix Mentor” document.

Again, sorry the misinformation.   Please share this apology and information with anyone that may have been in attendance at the meeting representing your library.  

For anyone that did not attend the meeting yesterday, please refer to the Migration Memo #3  https://support.swanlibraries.net/content/migration-memos  and the two documents mentioned above for information on SirsiDynix Mentor self-paced training .  

If you should have any questions, please feel free to contact me.
