Action: Informational (Use New Template)

PrairieCat staff created a new hold shelf slip print template named C19HOLDSLP. The new C19HOLDSLP template will produce full patron name, barcode, and phone number (see attached example). This modification should streamline the patron notification if your library needs to manually notify patrons. To protect patron confidentiality, keep materials with these hold slips in a non-public space. The template can be found in the Sierra Print Templates / Holdshelf Slips.

Capira is going to release a new curbside functionality. Even if you are not a library that opted in for the Capira mobile app, you can use the curbside module as a web-based application for your patrons. Register for the demo on 5/21/20 here: https://www.capiratech.com/upcomingwebinars/2020/5/21/library-curbside-pickup-software-webinar-open-to-all
