Oak Park (including Dole and Maze branch items) status error "Ready for Pickup"
by Kate Boyle 20 Dec '13

20 Dec '13

+++ Please route to appropriate personnel +++ Everyone - There was a problem with the materials handler (AMH) at Oak Park yesterday. It is now fixed, but unfortunately there is a problem with any ILL materials that were processed by the handler either yesterday or this morning. Any item crossing the handler yesterday or earlier today that had a hold for another library was assigned a status of "ready for pickup" instead of being given a status of "Intransit". To make matters worse, patrons were notified by email that their requested item was "ready for pickup" at their local library. There are about 400 of these items and they are from Oak Park Main, Dole, and Maze. Oak Park staff are expediting the processing of these materials, but they will not be received by the borrowing library until Monday or after the holiday on Thursday. We are working with Innovative to see if there is anything that can be done by them to help clear up the problem in the WebPAC and MilCirc. However, patrons may appear at your library having been notified that their item is "Ready for Pickup". If you cannot locate the item on your holdshelf, check the item record. Any item checked in by the AMH at Oak Park has an IN LOC of 996. These items will also have a Last Updated Date of either 12-19-13 or 12-20-13. We apologize for this inconvenience. Not exactly the glad tidings you hoped to receive. Sorry.

by Kate Boyle 20 Dec '13

20 Dec '13

+++ Please route to appropriate personnel especially Circulation, Tech Services +++ On January 6th , RAILS delivery will be transitioned to CTS (Continental Transportation Solutions). Part of this transition involves a new three letter delivery code for materials being routed to the Burr Ridge facility for SWAN. The following routing instructions pertain to both Interlibrary Loan materials (SWAN direct loans) along with work forms and materials for SWAN Bibliographic Services (Cataloging). Starting on January 3rd, materials being routed to SWAN at Burr Ridge should be addressed to SWS- SWAN. On January 3rd, holds for Burr Ridge staff will have an updated pickup point of SWS-SWAN in MilCirc. Anything being routed to SWAN staff should be addressed using a sticky routing label. SWAN libraries should not use an ILDS label to route materials to the Burr Ridge office. See following example : [cid:image001.png@01CEFCC6.DEB7E180] If you are routing work forms or paperwork using a routing envelope please address TO: SWS - SWAN FOR: Bib Services (or other name/department). Thank you for your cooperation. If you should have any questions concerning this email don't hesitate to call SWAN at 630-734-5153 and we can direct your call. Happy Holidays!
