System Library Account Naming

As a follow up to standardizing the use of the Location Codes and Statuses within CARL.X, we discovered that it was not always clear which library account to use for sending materials between libraries that cannot have holds placed on them. In order to make it clearer what each library's system card is for, the Access Managers have proposed a naming convention for system library accounts.

    Access Services Updates - August 27, 2018

    It's that time again to share your thoughts on an Access Services proposal!

    This month we're looking at standardizing what location codes and statuses mean across the libraries.

    The Problem

    Location codes and statuses have been used for varying purposes across the libraries and departments. This has made it difficult for Collection Development to have an accurate picture of each library's collection to make sure they are ordering material appropriately.
