The Replacement Cart
As a follow up to the conversation today at the circ meeting I pass along this information about the replacement cart in technical services.
There is a circ status of replacement cart. This was created by Rosalie for Michaele to have a place to put books that can be swapped out from our shelves with books donated to us. Rosalie who previously had a swaps cart now also uses the circ status of replacement cart. Again the books are damaged or very used copies of books that now have a donated replacement copy.
The book to be replaced and the replacement both sit on the cart awaiting the appropriate processing. This will include changes to the bib record, item label change and processing like covering, stamping etc. Some of the work is done by Ryan under the direction of Rosalie. Karen V has been helping to decide which children's items should go on the cart she does not do any of the tech services work.
If you need an item that has the circ status replacement cart you need to ask Rosalie to move the item along more quickly. She works on the cart items periodically but it is not a first priority.
If you need a book such as Diary of a Wimpy Kid and it has the circ status replacement cart you may take it from the cart and put it on Rosalie's desk or ask her if she is here to process the item as soon as possible. Make sure you give her both books, the one being replaced and the replacement. She said she will try to process it immediately if possible if the patron can wait. If she is not available or the patron can not wait please put a hold on the item using the bib record. When the books is processed it will immediately grab the hold.
Questions?
1. Michaele, Rosalie and Karen V are putting items on the replacement cart.
2. Rosalie is the person you must ask to process an item from the replacement cart.
3. You may take an item from the cart and put both the item and the replacement on Rosalie's desk with a note to expedite the process.
3. If the item is not processed immediately while the patron waits then a hold is placed on the bib record. The hold will be satisfied when the processing of the item is complete.
