That Which We Call NonPrint, By Any Other Name ...

As you all may know, the NonPrint department is now a part of the Clarkston library, rather than a unit of Technical Services. I’ve just edited all of the locations to reflect this. So, NonPrint Popular DVD is now Clarkston Popular DVD, and so forth. You may still see NonPrint On Order here and there, I can’t change that to Clarkston On Order since that location already exists, but, as we finish up the NonPrint backlog, those will shake out.

Now, these changes merely affect the way these locations display in the OPAC and the staff side of Voyager. The location codes cannot be edited and will remain NPPopDVD, and so forth. I’m fairly certain that the catalogers are the only people using the location codes, but, just in case, I wanted to mention that they’re staying the same.

NonPrint still needs to keep their happening location, NONPRINT CIRC DESK, and their own Callslip queue. But, outside of that, everything that once said “NonPrint” should now say “Clarkston.” If you don’t see these changes in the staff side of Voyager, just close the client and restart it.

Please let me know if I missed anything. Thanks!

NonPrint Recommendations

Hi again, everyone. I just wanted to let you know that Michael and I have been working on a form for patrons to recommend purchases for the NonPrint collection, and it's live now, at the following link.

http://www.gpc.edu/library/technicalservices/
nonprint/nprecommend.htm

If you encounter patrons who might be interested in this, please feel free to refer them to this page. There is also a link for it on the main NonPrint page.

Of course, library faculty and staff are welcome to use the form as well, or just send slips directly to Michael if you prefer.

Thanks!
