Sierra Vega Discover eCommerce Mobile AppWe are considering starting to circulate the charging cords with our Vox and Wonderbooks collection, and I wanted to see how other libraries circulate these cords. Are they catalogued and checked out separately along with the talking books, or they just given to the patron at checkout? Thanks!

Would there be a way to consolidate print bills for multiple items to the same patron? If a patron has (20) items outstanding that have been billed, that is 20 pages to print and mail. Obviously, we try and fit as many pages as possible in an envelope but you are still sending out several envelopes to the same patron. With the status of the USPS becoming questionable, not only am I looking for a way to cut costs in postage but also to make sure that the bills will be sent to patrons via a reliable service. Is this something that can be suggested to Innovative if we do not have control over this at PC?
