KLAS v7 System Administrators, have you looked at your statistical periods lately? Perhaps you should.

The statistical periods are displayed on the Statistics tab in most KLAS v7 modules. They keep track of things like the number of copies added and the number of copies withdrawn during the time period.

In the latest upgrade to KLAS version 7, we have done a great deal of work on the online help. We've revamped some of the topics, to take into account new features and functions. We've added a slew of new topics, including those dealing with Serials functionality and User Permissions.

Now that most of the libraries have gotten the latest upgrade, I'd like to share with you a little information about the RS Navigator.

The RS Navigator is located off of the Functions Menu in Patron. It is designed to allow Reader Advisors to view their Reader Services Queue, navigate to the desired patron record and serve the patron - all without having to use the Query function "Search My RSQue".

In version 7, there is a means by which you can remove a few or a lot of requests and reserves from a patron's record, besides just deleting them individually.

First, find your patron, then switch to the Requests tab. On the bottom right of the screen, there are two buttons. Asg Item (Ctrl + G) will assign the highlighted request, if there are items available. The other button, Bulk Del Rsv, which stands for Bulk Delete Reserve, will allow you to set the criteria for removing requests and reserves. To get to this function using your keyboard, you'd need to access the Functions menu (Alt + U) and then select B three times (First B is Book search, the second is Book Club Maintenance and the third is Bulk Delete Reserve).
