The Difference Between MCL's Envisionware Print Release and BCL's Envisionware Print Release

1. First screen MCL's Print Release Station
 
 
 

2. First Screen BCL's Print Release Station
 
 
 
 
3. First Screen MCL's Patron at PC Making Printout if it's from catalog.multcolib.org website -  Free!
 
 
 
 
4. First Screen MCL's Patron at PC Making Regular non catalog Printout
 
 
 

 
5. First Screen BCL Patron at PC Making any Printout
*Button for info about Prepaid account is available
 
 
6. Second screen MCL Patron at PC Making any Printout
* "Retrieve Your Prints at location". When patron goes to Location, the Envisonware payment system is located right next to the printer, so that explains the correlation on text of bottom half of this screen
 
 
 
7. Second Screen BCL Patron at PC Making Any Printout.
* "Pay at Self Service Station or Reference Desk" 
 
 
 
 
 
8. MCL Patron experience on First Screen of Envisionware Print Release Station
* No Password is Required, just Library Card Number.
 
 
 
 
 
9. BCL Patron Experience on First Screen of Envisionware Print Release Station
* Password is required
 
 
 
 
 
10. MCL Patron Experience on Second Screen of Envisionware Print Release Station
* No option to cancel
* No field for Name of Printer because Printer is right next to this machine
* Seconds do not cycle back to 60 while people are rooting for money. Staff or patron has to move the mouse or otherwise reactivate it to get 60 seconds to recycle
*No one has prepaid accounts everyone has to use Print Release Station to release a printout
 
 
 
11. BCL Patron Experience on Third Screen of Envisionware Print Release Station
*Option to cancel
*Field for name of printer family
*45 seconds and it does cycle over again regardless of patron moving mouse
*Top part shows amount 
 
 
 
 
12. MCL Patron Experience on Fourth Screen of Envisionware Print Release Station
*Simple
*If they added money to the coin machine prior to this fourth screen, it works and also if they add money after this fourth screen it works.  The printer is just next to this screen.
*There is no option for prepayment.
*There is only staff override at the staff client desk. 
*Wherever they go to print, the job follows, like if they make the printout upstairs and go to a print release station downstairs, it will come out there.
There are two print stations behind the pharos desk at CEN (formerly GI desk),  & each branch has a print release station located near either circ staff or reference staff,
*The top part of the screen shows amount  
(while this screen is up)
 
 
 
..and after you click Print button on Far Left, this window comes up
 
 


13. BCL Patron Experience on Fourth Screen of Envisionware Print Release Station
 (while this screen is up)

.....and after you select Print button on Far Left, this window comes up:

*We have print management account. Because of this we have more buttons.
a) People rarely manage their printing experience this way but it is possible by
i.chosing to print from their PC
ii.using the Manage the AAM Account module, adding money properly, 
iii. then use the Release a Print Job module and selecting the second button.
* The button labeled "First deposit money into vending device and THEN click" -- it is wordy. But if it is selected prior to adding money, it is followed by this failsafe Vending Deposit dialog message So we might consider simplifying the topmost button so that it says Pay using Payment Machine or something due to the failsafe Vending Deposit dialog message that will come up if they fail to enter the money first.

 
 
 
 
Other photographs from MCL -- Behind the Popular Library room desk is refills for brochures 
More than one Ebook option
Face outs of what they call "Lucky Day" (what we call "Nonholdables")
Lucky day items can circulate for 3 weeks but not be renewed. They are nonholdable and yet they opted for simpler language to describe them to patrons.

Bright lights





Reading London Socialites in the 1920s

It got started with my interest in party people: People with the time and resources to entertain crazy fast lives.. start trends, influence fashions. Their lightness and fun is total hedonism, complete abandon, yet fraught, overshadowed by the staggering outcome of insecurities and excess.

Are you nostalgic? Do you have a fascination with wild circles of misfits and friends? Curious about rich, irreverent people? The following titles might be right for you--



Bright Young People: The Lost Generation of London's Jazz Age by DJ Taylor
A lovingly written, detailed, sociological look at the entire cast of characters. I could not put it down.

Vile Bodies by Evelyn Waugh
The same characters as above, in a humorous story by one of the most piercing and malicious members. Some of the characters are based on his circle of friends who included Nancy Mitford, who had some success as a writer too, especially in her documentation of forms of speech used at the time.
--extra credit-- if you liked that pairing, then read on:


Afternoon Men by Anthony Powell
You might have to ILL this one from a library. Out of print. DJ Taylor, (the first book on my list), always mentions this title. If you read it you might begin to perceive familiar voices - even identify people in the circles of friends by their actions and slang.


Hons and Rebels by Jessica Mitford -Reveals the eccentric home of Nancy Mitford's younger sisters. An added dimension of seeing into a world of characters. I found myself laughing out loud.


Watch the movie, Bright Young Things (2003). (based on Vile Bodies) Read or (or rent the DVD for the multi-volume A Dance to the Music of Time, which Anthony Powell wrote following Afternoon Men. Read about Cecil Beaton and his contributions to fashion and photography...
