Progress on tech issues

I'm glad to report that we are making progress on some of the tech problems lingering in the Library.

We can now print PDF files on the four new machines in the Reference Room.  So if you open an article in the ATLA Religion Database and click on the print icon that appears near the top of the PDF file, a dialogue box will open asking you to enter the file name and password.

The trick here is that the dialogue  box may be hiding BEHIND the browser!!  So you may sit there for a while looking at a progress bar that never moves.  It's waiting for you to fill in the dialogue box.  But you are waiting for the box to appear, so the two of you may sit there till doomsday staring at each other.

To force the box to become visible, you can click on its icon on the menu bar across the bottom of the screen.  Or, you can minimize the browser window so you can see the smaller box behind it.

I realize that this is somewhat ridiculous, but at least it works!!

We are still trying to install BibleWorks 9 on all of the Ref Room computers, and working on another printer for the Computer Lab downstairs.  We apologize for the delay.
