Congratulations to the Marseilles Public Library who "went live" for circulation on Monday using Sierra!
Marseilles PL (MABB-3) has completed the process of upgrading their collection, which was loaded into Prairiecat on August 23, 2017. Marseilles marks the 11th public library / school district in LaSalle County that circulates their collection using Sierra/PrairieCat.
Congratulations to the city of Marseilles and best of luck to Library Director Jan Ambrose and the library staff!!
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!
