Holds Procedures

Hi everyone,

Now that we have the new holds printers in the proper places at both locations, I thought I would post the procedures for both:

At Blue Ridge:

• Hold wrappers are printed at the computer on the desk near the indoor book drop.
• If an item has a hold on it and it's checked in at another terminal, please check it in at that station as well.
• If an item is owned by Central, place it in the Central bin without a wrapper unless it is going to fill a hold.

At Vinson:

• Hold wrappers are printed at the computer in the workroom by the book drop.
• If items on hold or items to be put in transit are received at the desk, please put them in the appropriate gray bin without a wrapper. There is now one for holds and one for Central items. Please put FLIP Kits and other CMH items in the holds bin.
• The staff member on book drop will now have as part of their duties to process the items in the bins at the desk. Items on hold receive wrappers. Items in transit to Central go in the Central bin without a wrapper.

At both locations, all items received must be checked in.  

Please note: We should no longer be attaching paper transit slips to items with rubber bands.

Note added 9/9/15: Remember that DVDs, CDs, and audiobooks are wrapped with the wrapper covering the opening, creating a seal on the container.

Please let me know if you have any comments or questions.

Thanks!
John
