Have you registered for PUG Day 2018? You won’t want to miss out on this day of training, professional development, and networking. The event is on Friday, September 28 in Moline, IL. See the great lineup of presenters and session descriptions here, or the attached document.
The PrairieCat Resource Sharing Summit on Friday, August 17, 2018 from 9:00 AM - 12:00 PM at DeKalb Public Library. Join us for a morning of collaborative problem-solving as we discuss ongoing resource sharing issues. These are issues that have frequently been raised by the membership. The two main issues for discussion are: ILL Policy - exempt items and borrowing/lending item types not owned by your library AND patron-initiated holds by non-PrairieCat reciprocal borrowers. The Summit will be facilitated by outside consultant Amanda E. Standerfer. We hope to see you there!
So you’ve got a truck of books that you want to make the same change to in the item records … and you don’t have a lot of time to go through each item one… at… a… time. PrairieCat staff can make that mass change for you!
