Interloans renewals

From Janice in Interloans:

If a user comes to the desk after hours with an overdue, or about to be overdue Interloan, and asks for a renewal, please do NOT CKI in the interloan (to save the user being fined) and then ask the Interloans Team to renew it the next day.

This creates a lot of confusion for us and removes the history of the ‘loan’.

The user will just have to accept that it cannot be ‘renewed’ that night and that Interloans staff will deal with it as soon as they can the next working day. A renewal is on an item that is on issue, not on a returned item.

Items awaiting call number, repairs, rebarcoding, etc

Please change the status for any item you put on the call number, repairs, rebarcoding, or stripping shelf to ‘rs’ (relabelling). This will ensure that the Horizon record shows where the item is. Once the item has been attended to it will need to be checked in to return the status to ‘in library’. (This overrides my earlier posting in May when I confused the issue by asking for them to be changed to awaiting binding. They should be ‘rs’ relabelling.)
