user: verna
nature: verna voucher macro
time: 90' plus
status: developing
notes: getting close to the point where jack and verna would have to test the macro and modify to their tastes; this is only the portion after the people soft query has already been run; navigating the web portion a separate module (if desired at all)

> Macro Training

Trying to coordinate with Betsy, Michele, Elaine, Charles, Suzanne for their initial training sessions (individual or small groups as is convenient).

> Macros Being Developed currently

1. I am putting the finishing touches on the macro I have created to aid staff when cleaning up the item files for sorting in Aleph

2. As soon as everyone agrees on the wording I'll be adding  some text to the 856 fields created in the UMI macro.

> Macro Training

I will be training Gerald Langford, a macro unit developer in Cataloging and
Metadata.
I'll update this post when the time has been set up
