Albertsons Library, Boise State University, began using the renewal and cost data detail functionality of Serials Solutions beginning in June of this year. We had decided to move from a 'home grown' database to Serials Solutions.
What we thought would be a 'steadily moving' workflow has been using Serials Solutions Resource Manager has become problematic due to extremely slow response time. You search for a title in the Knowledgebase and it takes upwards up 90 seconds or more to obtain a response...or you are 'timed out' with an error message. Also, additions/changes that should upload overnight to populate the Journals A-Z list take 48 or more hours to show up.
We are trying to determine whether this relates only to Boise State University activities or if other libraries/institutions are experiencing the same problems.
Thanks for any information you can provide to me 'off list'.
Regards,
Nancy Donahoo
