Third Visit

This is our third and final visit from our Policy coordinator. The team worked well yesterday and we were able to finish up the last policies. The Holding Codes were explained. I see them functioning as a type of macro, filling in many of the fields such as Item, Location and cat 1 & Cat 2. We created and Item type for books that would move from library to library and named it Floating. We also put in an item type for Programs to try as an experiment. The hope is that we can link it up with other items in the catalog and increase awareness of the libraries’ programs. Reserve items require a circ rule but not a place in the circ map. That will be handled by the Academic reserves Module. A meeting was set for next Wednesday to complete the circ Map for Del Tech. We finished up the visit talking with our Training Manager from Sirsi and going over some of the concerns and strategies for the training in October, November and January.
