May All-Staff Meeting Notes

   June 4, 2019


All Staff Meeting 5/23/19

 

  • TS/IT

    • Dreama talked about the Library of Congress (LOC) as lender of last resort for ILL–i.e. where we borrow titles that no one else has or that no one else will lend. LOC titles cannot leave the building. They should be checked out to the patron for in-house use then checked back in when they’re done. This process can be repeated until the item’s due date. See her presentation for more information.
