Based on feedback from the Pests in the Library Workgroup and Access Managers, on Monday, February 1, 2021 we will go live with this feature. Permissions to add and remove these notes have been enabled for Library Managers, Access Managers, Engagement Managers, Access Specialists, and Library Aides.
