REGULAR CLEAN-UP/GLOBAL UPDATES
*Have a fairly powerful program to make corrections, if we can come up with a search picks up what we want to change fairly easily without a lot of mistakes.  Redundancy in data makes more likely for mistakes to be entered somewhere, but makes them easier to find in some cases.
*EXAMPLE: CAN'T correct mispelled names.
*EXAMPLE: could switch all instances of a location code


SEARCHING
*Using extended display
:notice branch name, status
:notice call number search has less info
*The no hits screen
:Your search query has been changed... Tried: (aligator and pickle and euphoria) no results found... Tried: (alligator or pickle or euphoria) 
71 results found. sorted by relevance. 
*searching for nonfiction in picture books
*Millennium hotkeys
**How to find them
**ctrl-< and ->
**ctrl-[ and -]
**alt-n to switch search index
*Subject rotation
*keyword limiting allowed in Millennium, use advanced search in OPAC
*Experiment!--example of unknownable ("t:history and a:john and a:paul" vs. title "history with limits author "john" and author "paul")
*there is a staff view that has the same info as Millennium (not recommended)
*there is a Millennium manual (with lots of stuff that doesn't apply)
