Hey!
I can't remember if we went over this or not, but did we decide what we were going to do about the new $1 URIs in the 082 fields? Are we keeping these for now?
We seem to be having an influx of patron notification errors, where patrons are not receiving either email notifications or phone notifications. Are other libraries experiencing this? If so, what other measures do you take as a library besides what PrairieCat policy says?
Hello, I'm new to the tech services role so thank you for any advice or comments.
Our library historically has added an internal note with information about where that item was purchased and the date of entry (i.e. Ingram 6/17/25). I know several other libraries do this as well, but not all libraries include this as a procedure. I was wondering if you could help me understand 1. Why this is done. and 2. Is this still a relevant procedure when most replacements, if necessary, are ordered on Amazon these days.
Thank you for any input!
