Rockdale/Newton Becomes Newton

Just wanted to let everyone know that, with their move, the Rockdale campus will now be known as Newton. To that end, I've changed all the instances of "Rockdale" to "Newton" in the Voyager back-end, the OPAC, and on the webpages I have control of. The other webmasters will be changing their pages shortly, if they haven't already.

For those who use the Cataloging module, you will notice that drop-down menus are reading something like "Newton Book," but the location code will still be "ROBook." I'm afraid that Voyager doesn't allow for changing permanent location codes, just the way they display, so we're stuck with this. Those using Acquisitions and Circulation probably won't notice this. I think all you ever see is the display name, which will be "Newton Book," "Newton Reference," etc.

If you have any questions, please let me know.

Update: In the OPAC, the Location field of the Narrow My Search limits and in the Quick Limits under the Exact Search still say "Rockdale." Bob Trotter will have to change that and I emailed him on 4/1.
