		<title>Printing/Copying Payment System Upgrade</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This past week Southern Seminary upgraded its Shield Card payment system for copying/printing on campus. This change directly impacts the library, where most self-serve copying/printing occurs. We think you will appreciate our new system for two reasons. First, the new system works almost exactly like the old system. That means there is not much of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Item Detail View, Part 2 – Item Availability</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One of the most common questions I am asked when helping patrons use our catalog concerns item availability. Patrons want to know if the item is in the library and available to check out. Answering this question was not always intuitive for researchers using our older online catalog.

		<description><![CDATA[While perusing your search results in WorldCat Local (WCL), inevitably you will want more information about a particular item. For example, say you run a search on the keywords “church history reformation.” The second result is The Reformation: How a Monk and a Mallet Changed the World.

		<title>WCL - The Search Results Screen</title>
