Change in cataloging for Consumer Reports
As you all know, we get two copies of Consumer Reports each month. One is for public use and can circulate and the other is held near the circulation desk as a reference copy to be used in house or overnight.
We have had a few problems with the reference copies going out for 2 weeks because that was the way they were cataloged. I have changed that so now if you try to check out the reference copy you will get the message about an overnight loan and it will remind you to alert the patron that they will be charged a dollar per day if they don't return it the next day. The current copy of the reference issue does not circ until the next month is in, same rules as a circulating magazine. Please make sure that the circulating copy is not available before you let the reference copy go. The reference copy should be loaned only as a last resort.
