Holds and Health Science Consortium Libraries

Memo to: Circulation staff
cc: Laurie Scott, Health Sciences Consortium

As a number of Hospital libraries in the Health Sciences Consortium are now using the Sirsi Workflows software for circulation, it's a good time to remind circulation staff that UTL libraries cannot place holds on items in the hospital libraries. Therefore, where title records are shared with UTL libraries, Group Title holds cannot be placed.

Consortium libraries will place holds on items in their own libraries only, not on items in other Consortium libraries. Patron records created by consortium libraries for hospital staff will be created using upper and lower case letters, to help distinguish some of the same people who also hold UTL borrowing cards. UTL staff should not use a patron record belonging to one of the Consortium libraries for any purpose.
