Citrix download

If you haven’t installed the new Citrix Client you can use the New Borrowers list in Sample Reports (Library121) this uses loan limits to identify new Borrowers (limit = 0) so it will also pickup any recalcitrants you have removed borrowing rights from (if any, you probably know the ones!).

Citrix Client 12.1

If you decide to download the Citrix Client 12.1 do so on your office PC not the Circulation terminal.  It can be downloaded from the link on the OASIS Welcome page.  Click on ?Download?.  After a few seconds will prompt to ?Run?, click on ?Run?.  After another few seconds will prompt to ?Run? again, click on ?Run?.  Once it has installed reboot your PC.

Have we been given the official go ahead for the updated Citrix Client yet? The discussion on this list a fortnight ago was we still had to wait for the official say so. The OASIS log on page still says the new version is that recommended for Windows XP and new computers with Windows 7 have to use it (but how many of them are in libraries??) but the last “official” word I had was to wait.

Meanwhile primary schools need the barcoded list facility NOW and anyone who wants to convert from borrower card numbers to ERNs also wants the facility offered by the update ASAP because we’re doing the new cards for the year now. Shouldn’t any testing have been done so that we could start the new year with the new options when we need them?

It seems there may also be some other glitches with the new Citrix that might occur with SCIS downloads. My SAO has had trouble on her station after we
installed the new Citrix, ie in how to save & access the downloads to upload to OASIS (after they were saved, it wouldn’t let her get to them to upload, & IT
Support have recommended that we just install the Citrix 12 on ONE machine, to get the lovely Barcode lists, but not on others as it affects the SCIS processing
as well. I’ve been really busy so I’m hearing it second-hand, and I have not yet attempted a SCIS on my logins & machine which I upgraded first, to compare to her
experience, but it looks like I might have to uninstall it on hers. So this is just a word of caution & I recommend you contact IT Support for further guidance.
 



OASIS and Citrix

I am pretty sure you can only have 2 machines at a time on Citrix client in your school – as they are licenced and have costs behind them. I am happy to be corrected if this is not the case. You can put in a Help Desk Call and they will do it remotely if you qualify for more.

This is incorrect. You can have as many as you want at any time.
