Weekly Update – April 3, 2012
Updated Cataloging Policy
Updated cataloging policy has been posted here. Note the previously discussed cataloging policy change (Page 1, last paragraph):
All member libraries must have at least one Certified (CAT 1) cataloger on their cataloging staff or an agreement in place with another Evergreen Indiana library that has a certified CAT 1 cataloger. The written agreement needs to be on file with the Evergreen Indiana Executive Committee care of the Indiana State Library. The agreement may be stated as follows: We will provide CAT 1 cataloging services for [Name of Library] for [fee] each year.
Circulation Tips
As is taught in basic circulation training, please do not ask for or include the SSN of any library patrons in their patron record. Soliciting this information is a liability for your library and for the Indiana State Library. The Primary Identification Type field in the Patron Record has the words SSN – DO NOT USE next to it as a reminder not to collect that information.
Library Branch Closing
The Cayuga branch (VCPLC) of Vermillion County Public Library will be closed until further notice. Please send all Evergreen transits to the main Newport branch (VCPLN).
