Unicode Upgrade Scheduled
ORCA is scheduled to upgrade to Voyager with Unicode on December 28th and 29th.


Here is what to expect on December 28th/29th:

• The system will be offline during that time period. There will be no access to the Voyager server during this time. Stay out of ALL of the Voyager modules - even the catalog!
• New Voyager software will have to be installed on your workstation.
• Since the server will be unavailable please us the backup links to the research databases.

There is a meeting at Everett Community College on December 9th from 9:00 - 4:00 to review the upgrade process and answer questions. The ORCA System Administrator will distribute an agenda. Additionally, there will be a WebVoyage configuration meeting on December 13th (also at Everett).

ORCA is working with Endeavor to set up the web preview server for each school so we can prepare our WebVoyage config files in advance of the actual upgrade (like we did for the last upgrade). Try it out here:  http://highline-pre.library.ctc.edu/
