Holds management---- new quirks

by Kate Boyle

+++ Please route to appropriate personnel +++ SWAN Member Services has discovered that Release 2011 triggered some new behavior with respect to holds. These changes were not mentioned by Innovative in the Release Notes, but have now been confirmed by Innovative. Please take note of the following changes that affect holds management: * Staff will now need to override the hold block when attempting to place a title level hold for a patron who currently has an item checked out on this same bib record. Staff will see an "Authorization Required" dialog box. Please click "OVERRIDE" to supersede this hold block and successfully place the hold. Initials "super", "circsr" and "circjr" are authorized to override this block. [cid:image003.jpg@01CF2896.A75FC2B0] * A selection of holds can no longer be modified as a group from Search/Holds mode after a user has sorted the hold queue by pickup point. Previously, users were able to sort by pickup point, select all holds with that same pickup point, and modify all holds by filling out one dialog box. With the newest release, this is no longer possible. From now on, please modify holds one at a time from the hold queue in Search/Holds mode. We apologize for any inconvenience. If you should have any questions please contact either Renee Clanton (630-734-5169) or Samantha Dietel (630-734-5163).

survey to identify training needs for the new ILS at your library

by Kate Boyle

Everyone - SWAN is performing a short survey to determine approximate training needs for our new ILS. Basically we are looking for the number of staff in your various departments or services. If you could designate one staff member in your library to respond to this survey that would be perfect. We would appreciate a quick turnaround of this survey. Please try to complete this by tomorrow noon, if at all possible. If tomorrow is not possible, please submit your answers whenever you have completed them. Your response doesn't have to be exact. As always I appreciate the wonderful cooperation of the SWAN members, in this instance with the short turnaround even more so. The survey https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/9NTFSRW Kate Boyle SWAN Member Services Manager 125 Tower Drive Burr Ridge, IL 60527 630-734-5162 help(a)swanlibraries.net<mailto:help@swanlibraries.net> http://support.swanlibraries.net<http://support.swanlibraries.net/>
