Change to Book Search Requests

detective_magnifying_glass_lg_nwm.gif Locate & Notify forms (I used to call them Search & Destroy forms) have been replaced with the Search forms used by the rest of the University Libraries. The new form allows patrons to choose their pick up library, so it's a little more user friendly. Drop completed forms in the blue bins behind both Circulation desks.

Speaking of the blue bins, you may have noticed that I replaced the cardboard Circulation boxes we used to use. Since we've updated a number of procedures, here's a review of what should be placed in them: returned ILLs, books to be routed to other libraries, and search forms. However, books that have patron holds on them should not be left there. Books that have patron holds that need to be routed to another library should be brought up to the third floor, flagged with the appropriate hot pink routing flag, and set on the transfer shelf (next to the check in station that the shelvers use). Books that have patron holds that will be picked up here should be handled as explained in the previous post.

If you have comments or suggestions on any of this, comment on the post or otherwise let us know.

Thanks!
Emily
