E-mail permissions error

An issue has been discovered with the way the Docutek system handles the auto-notification and follow up of e-mail questions.

After following the “Click here to view question details” link in the notification message this error message appears:

“You do not have proper permissions to view this question. If you think you are receiving this message in error please contact your local VRL Plus Manager.”

After clicking on ok, the message reloads and you get stuck in an endless loop.

This error occurs because the question the librarian is trying to log in to handle has already been assigned to another librarian at their institution.  The system will only allow one user at a time to work on a question to avoid duplication of effort.  We have notified Docutek of the work flow issues that this error raises and they are working on a solution.  Please bear with us as we work through this inconvenience.

Please let us know if you have questions about this or any other issue.

Online Practice Sessions

I have scheduled two online practice sessions. Join us online on Wednesday, the 20th from 2-4 and Monday, the 25th from 9:30-11:30. These sessions are available for anyone who would like to practice. To join your Ask a Librarian colleagues from across the state, go to info.askalibrarian.org/training.asp, choose your library from the drop down menu and sign in. You can also take a turn practicing as a patron by choosing a library from the “As a Patron” drop down menu. I will be online during the listed times as either a librarian or a patron, so I hope to see you there. Let me know if you have any questions or have trouble logging in.
