    WISH  I have tried to contact the developer numerous times to no avail. When the programs works, it's great. However, for the past 128 days my library has failed to update. I use the USA-GA-Dekalb Public Library. Below is the debug:

    DABLUEST  @ Wish:

    I too use Library Books with the Dekalb County GA Library and you're right, it had stopped working awhile ago, but there is a work around to get it working again. Here's how:

    - Under Preferences, Select the Accounts tab

    - Under the Library dropdown, select Horizon/Dynix Catalogue System, which is under the Generic Catalogue System section.

    - Under the General tab, in the Name field, type "Dekalb County Public Library" (without quotes). Also enter in your barcode and PIN numbers.

    - Select the Catalogue tab, and in the Catalogue Host field, type "http://findit.dekalblibrary.org" (without quotes). In the Library Web Page, type "http://www.dekalblibrary.org/" (again, without quotes).

    - Click Save and then Update from the main menu and everything should work again.

    EVERLAST_34  Library Books is great.

    It even works in my obscure Canadian city.

    Great job.

    HAROLD CHU  Hi Eric, you're right development has stalled. I haven't looked at my emails for a long time. I've set up a uservoice forum at http://librarybooks.uservoice.com for reporting bugs and voting on what should be fixed next.

    BTW: I don't put updates on MacUpdate or VersionTracker. Someone else puts the updates. I'll update the link so that it points to a proper web server.

    ERIC DURBROW  Website is almost always too busy. Perhaps, author could use SourceForge as mirror site? Appreciate updates but unable to download them due to chronic website problem.

    ERIC DURBROW  Still does not work with Sacramento Library System in California despite two properly documented bug reports to developer. Development seems to have stalled.
