  AutoIt and Millennium: "Smart Scripting PART 1
Harvey Hahn, Technical Services Dept. Manager, Arlington Heights Memorial Library
“AutoIt” scripts can automate software running in a Windows environment (including Millennium). These scripts are capable of going far beyond current script examples that merely send text to the screen; they can take full advantage of the visual interface that Millennium provides. Besides typing data into textboxes, AutoIt scripts can also edit data in records, click buttons, determine what kind of data is currently displaying, determine which window is currently displaying, read text from the screen, and similar activities that a user might do. These scripts also have the ability to be “smart”, that is, to be able to make choices and decisions on the basis of information on the screen. This program will describe various techniques that can be applied in ANY Millennium module to create AutoIt scripts that can increase productivity and efficiency. The program concepts can be applied in any type of library. However, the program assumes some knowledge of background in computer programming and is thus intended for intermediate and advanced level users. Although the program will not teach how to write computer scripts, it will teach in detail how to apply the presented techniques successfully within AutoIt scripts.

ERM: FYI (Following Your Implementation)
Celeste Feather, Electronic Resources Librarian, Ohio State University Libraries
ERM is in production at your library and the public interface is live. What comes next? This program will be a discussion of issues that arise from the actual use of ERM by library staff and library users. How is ERM maintained? How is it best incorporated into the routine workflow? How can your library maximize usage and unleash the potential of ERM?

  Guess Who Is (Under)Mining your System? Security Issues
Keven Riggle, Systems Librarian, Raynor/Memorial Library, Marquette University
Computer security is far more than ever-increasing concern at this time of ostensibly burgeoning malicious “cyber incidents”. Proactive and vigilant system administrators must monitor access logs regularly for unusual activities which might be the result of massive Web crawling activity or unnecessary Z39.50 searches. Likewise, an effective access policy will ensure your library’s limited user licenses, server and network resources are preserved for your privileged user base. Please join us as we discuss using login groups, the “robots.txt” file, and limit network access features to reduce risks of system overloads.

  Cataloging - From A (Authority) to C (Connexion)
Fran Jurgensmeyer, Technical Services Manager, Waukegan Public Library.
Lynn Whittenberger, Cataloging/Database Librarian, Raynor/Memorial Library, Marquette University
This panel presentation will cover both authority work and cataloging using Connexion. In-house authority control in Millennium using headings reports, automated authority control, LC weekly lists and/or the Cataloging Service Bulletin (CSB). A range of authority control options will be presented from the realistic (authority control for the one person tech services department) to the ideal (authority control with unlimited staff, time and budget). A comparison of the Connexion client with the Connexion browser to help people choose which option is best for them and their library. The presenter will cover tasks that can be done in both, as well as what can only be done in one, such as batch processing and local holdings maintenance for serials.
