REQUESTS WILL BE CHECKED OUT TO BL BORROWER AT MAIN CAMPUS CIRC DESKS FOR DELIVERY TO DAVISON LIBRARY HOLD SHELF.

BL borrowers will have a *BL* after their name
Borrowers will not receive hold notifications for Midd or NExpress items

Process paging slips in the Mill Circ Notice system (mnotices/mnotices)
A minimum of 3 times daily – morning, early afternoon, and evening – or more frequently to ensure timely request processing and delivery

Incorporate BL requests into existing Midd, NExpress, and ILL paging and retrieval workflow.

BL requests have priority over main campus hold requests
NExpress have top priority over everything

During the summer Main Circ will take primary responsibility for paging of materials for Midd requests – Main campus and Davison requests

Check daily that items for Bread Loaf are not placed on the Main hold shelf

PAGING SLIPS
• Sort all paging slips by branch and type (Midd or NExpress)
• Place pending NExpress requests in clear sleeve on red NExpress cart in ILL area next to Kate’s desk
• Place pending Midd main campus library and Davison requests in clear sleeve in 250B on the Davison Processing Cart
• Fax paging slips to branches for retrieval
• Armstrong fax – 2016
• Music fax – 2332
• Branches: items for BL borrowers will auto check out to borrower when scanned at branches; send to Main in courier bin; do not scan in again at the Main Library; place items from branches directly into Davison bin.
• For items being held at main campus locations – follow standard procedures and check in to generate hold or transit status
• Double check pick-up location – do not use borrower address on paging slip as pick-up location

BLSE REQUESTS
• Sort out all requests going to BLSE
• Retrieve items
• Check carefully for pick-up location – some BL borrowers may request pick-up at other locations
• Auto check-out: Scan item barcode in Check-in Mode – items will check out automatically to any BL patron type: message box will say “item on hold for X borrower and will be checked out automatically, print slip to place in book?” Do not print slip – use paging slip as the hold slip. Message will note “item has been checked out and is due on X date”
• Please note! Watch the screen!
• Some borrowers/requestors (academic year staff working at BL) will not be BL (patron type 160) and will not have a **BL** after their name. When scanned, items will go “in-transit” to Davison (and “on-hold” to the patron). Call up the patron record (verify that you are in the correct patron record; check out item; place in bin.
• Requestors at BL (academic year staff working at BL ) who are not ptype 160 will not be identified when scanning a NExpress request
• Please edit record and change patron type to 160 as needed. Edit record and add a note “Change back to staff after BL” (so we can create a list at the end of the summer to change ptypes back)
• Some requestors with **BL** may request pick -up at Main. In this case – place requests on the hold shelf at Main – already checked out. Check paging slips carefully for pick-up location when sorting. Do not send items for pick-up at Main (or Arm or Mus) to Davison
