124; Comments RSS. Innovative Interfaces, Inc. Posted on May 16, 2008. By Dennis G. Van Arsdale. Updated 2009.3.17, 2013.5.16]. Back from the IUG (Innovative Users Group) 2008 conference, I was inspired by the Brown University session on providing bookplates for donations to the library. They based an improvement in fundraising on being able to show bookplates to contributors. So, I checked on what I could do using the Millennium Media function of our Innovative system. Brown decided to do without bookpl...

We were scheduled for Tuesday, but III got us up early. Hurrah! I had to go into the Admin using my browser, and set up my login. Look but don’t edit, basically, at this point. Doing Permissions is, frankly, really clunky. Two boxes with lists of permissions, and no click/drag — you have to narrow it down to the specific ...They ar...
