Agenda

Last Meeting Follow-up

New Business

  • Increasing Renewal Limit (Buzzy asked for inclusion)
    • Need to send out (Brent)
  • Volume/Copy Holds in Sage
    • Current issues, discussion about their future in Sage, reasons for current inclusion  (Brent)
    • http://sagelib.org/blogs/holds-post-downsides-copyvolume-holds-clear-hold-shelf-process-items-reports
  • Hold Blocks
    • Reminder that patrons with PATRON_EXCEEDS_FINES, PATRON_EXCEEDS_CHECKOUT will result in hold fulfilment blocks. The limit message needs to be removed, or fine/checkout limit rectified before holds will target (holds will sit in untargeted limbo until this is accomplished) (Brent)
  • Manually Voiding Patron Bills vs. Adjust to Zero
    • I’d like to move for removal/discussion about removal of the “Void” option for bills now that “Adjust to Zero” is an available option. Will help protect against negative balances as well and produces the same desired result (I think) (https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/1479107) (Brent)
  • Warning Dialog Change
    • Item Needed to Fulfill a Hold → This item is on hold for someone else
      • Less jargon-y for patrons trying to renew items which have holds on them
  • Release of Web Client Preview (DO NOT use for day-to-day business)

Action Items

  • Renewal Limit Increase Send Survey (Brent)
  • Resurvey Libraries about Volume Hold Links in OPAC (Brent)
  • Investigate Overdrive API Integration (Brent)
    • (not loading bibs?)
