This year’s Eastern Great Lakes Innovative Users Conference (EGL-IUG), scheduled for Friday, September 13 at the Roberts Centre in Wilmington, OH, has been cancelled.
The Planning Committee will be starting its work for a 2014 EGL IUG early by considering new possibilities for how the conference will be organized. Look for a survey to be offered in the later months of this year for your input as to what you’d like to see from a regional conference such as the EGL-IUG.
Save the date! The 2013 EGL-IUG meeting will be held on Friday, September 13 at the Roberts Centre in Wilmington, Ohio (www.robertscentre.com). More details to come as they are made available.

III updated our system settings and has resolved the create lists editing issue.
We are experiencing affects of a Sierra 1.1.1 known issue. Users are not able to update data in variable fields within Create Lists. I’ve submitted a request to III to resolve this issue.
Release 1.1.1 includes a new display theme called Glacier Point. The Glacier Point color scheme is off-white, tan, dark blue, black, and dark red. The system defined default Sierra theme is Half Dome which has a color scheme of a very light green, white, dark red, dark orange, and various shades of brown.
If you would like to try out and/or switch to the new Glacier Point theme, please submit a Footprints ticket and indicate which login/s you want the theme installed on.
Sierra Release 1.1.1 installed on Tuesday, 6/18/2013.
The UA authentication server is back up and running. Access to Springboard, My Akron, Student e-mail etc. has been restored.
There is a problem with the UA authentication server, which means several UA services including My Akron, Springboard, and UA Student e-mail are inaccessible at this time.
