by Crystal Vela

To ensure that these items are accounted for and not showing a location of InTransit when they are missing, follow the attached procedure. Please note that you should only check an item out to this user MISSHLDSHLF if it was on your Clean Hold Shelf report, and you have looked for the item thoroughly and checked with the patron to ensure he/she doesn't not have it in their possession.

In Transit Items

by Vickie Totton

+++Please route to appropriate staff+++ Please find attached 2 In Transit reports. The first report (Item Library) is the one you are used to seeing on a monthly basis, it lists your items that have been in transit for at least 30 days. The second report (Transiting Library) sorts the items by transiting library. Follow the directions outlined in the "Processing the In Transit Report" pdf for both reports. Next Thursday, August 3, we will begin reporting on items in transit 10-30 days and will distribute those reports on a weekly basis for shelf checks. We are in the process of compiling a policy and process for cleaning up the items that have been in transit for an extended amount of time and will update you upon its completion. Thank you for your hard work and continued cooperation with this project.
