Unicorn System Admin Training

The Unicorn system administration training began today. We have 12 people signed on for this. I plan on giving them a higher level of access but not full admin rights. My only concern is in keeping the policies that affect multiple libraries under wraps. The Unicorn system has a few shortcomings in regards to administration of a large multi-library consortium. There are some policies that should be accessible to the libraries and others that should not. Keeping those separate isn’t as clear as I would like it. Overall the training is good for the sys admins even if they won’t be involved directly with some of the policies they will have a better understanding of what is happening in Unicorn. Working with the system is very intuitive and the documentation is pretty good. This jump onto Sirsinet kind of jumbles things a bit and I have to be careful I log all the changes or corrections I make so that when we are back on our hardware all is as it should be. I have about a page of notes of policies that I have to check on and fix. Some of it involves new additions to this version of Unicorn that we did not cover when we set up the policies back in August. I will wait until I can get on Sirsinet with our second data load to begin making these changes.
