This year, we will be adding two improved features for all site:<br></span><ul><li>A convenient link to the OPLIN Website Kit documentation from your administrative side block, and</li><li>A more intuitive file uploader that will also allow for more than one upload at a time.</li></ul><p>In addition, we will also be converting any sites using the old event system (that uses cloning) to the new calendar system (which allows for easier repeating events).</p><p><br></p><p><b>These upgrades will be done in two parts, and your library needs to be aware of <i>two different dates.</i></b></p><ol><li><b>Part I:</b> The new, improved features (file uploader, documentation link) will be done during the week of October 29th-November 1st. <i>This upgrade will *not* require your site to be down; however, you should not attempt to make any changes to your site while this first step is being completed.</i> Your library will be notified in a separate email as to when your Part I upgrade will take place.</li><li><b>Part II</b>: This is the conversion of the old events system to the new calendar system. <i> Your site will be down for a time in the morning, before 10 am. </i>You should not make any attempt to make changes to your site while this step is being completed. <b>**This step will not apply to all libraries; if you don't use "cloning" to repeat events, your site is not subject to this upgrade***</b> Your library will be notified in a separate email regarding the date for your Part II upgrade (if your site requires this conversion).</li></ol><p>Please don't hesitate to ask if you have any questions! Thanks for your patience,</p><p><br></p><p>Laura<br></p><p><br></p><p><b><i><br></i></b></p><p><br></p><p><br><b></b></p><span id="50da67c5-69dd-4bf1-8a96-314352e96474"><span name="x"></span>--<br><br><strong>Laura Solomon, </strong><font style="font-weight: bold;" size="1">MCIW, MLS</font><br><font size="2"><em>Library Services Manager</em></font>, <font size="2">Ohio Public Library Information Network (OPLIN)<br><span class="undefined" id="OBJ_PREFIX_DWT836_com_zimbra_phone">(614) 728-5252</span> (voice) | (614) 728-5256 (fax)<br><span class="Object" id="OBJ_PREFIX_DWT838_com_zimbra_email"></span><a href="mailto:laura@oplin.org">laura@oplin.org</a> |<span class="Object" id="OBJ_PREFIX_DWT839_com_zimbra_url"><a href="http://www.oplin.org/" target="_blank">http://www.oplin.org/</a></span></font><span name="x"></span><br></span><br></div></body></html>
