WLS Circulation Committee

March 10, 2016

Allison:

  • Melanie is out of the office, and she wishes that I remind everyone about the book repair workshop this Monday, if you haven’t already please sign up on the eVanced calendar.
  • Updates: There is a messaging feature coming soon. And we will soon be getting online billing, (for real).
  • There is also an edit feature on the catalog site so that patrons can update their email addresses and even change or recover PINs.
  • There are several different ways to get and print daily reports such as the Clean hold Shelf and Lost Notices. Please check the wiki for instructions.
  • Also on the wiki is a helper for On Shelf Holds and the 4 different ways that they can be printed.
  • We now have a “Tech Tip” Blog with all sorts of hints and even a contest…Check it out!
  • Don’t forget to update older Kindles by the 22nd of March or they will have to be manually updated… This is also available on the “TechTips” blog.

Angela:

  • Last meeting we had discussion about an over-ride code for blocked patrons. That code has now been sent to all the directors to be handed out at their discretion.
  • Please use the “note” field to identify a patron that is “blocked” and when the over-ride is used. That field is searchable so you can periodically monitor those patrons in your library that have blocks.
  • The system is moving to a new location sometime in July. The new Address is 570 Taxter Rd. and it is the 1st building on the LEFT on Taxter Rd. Which is just East of the current building immediately under the 287 bridge. WLS will inhabit the entire 4th Floor and a small section of the 1st floor for the delivery service.

Floor:

  • Chappaqua uses a form that patrons have to fill out anytime they request a reduction or forgiveness of fines. The first time it is usually granted and subsequent times are rejected unless there are extenuating circumstances. They will make a copy available for distribution.
  • Please Do Not Use TAPE on any materials.

Next meeting is Thursday May 12th.
