What if a patron needs a book club set NOW and no one is available in Technical Services?
- The Book Club Sets are located in Technical Services. All book club sets are shelved by call numbers and or author’s last name. The adult non-fiction and Biography titles are shelved behind Lori E’s desk. The adult fiction titles begin on the west all of Lori’s cubicle and continue around the corner. The sets are continued on the back wall of the TS area. The YA sets are shelved next to the YS workroom.
- When a book club set is reserved, the Circulation Status is Unavailable. Books with a status of Unavailable cannot be checked out.
- To determine which book club sets are available, go to the PAC.
- Hover over Browse and then choose book club sets.
- On the left side of the screen, click on Checked- In Titles Only.
- The patron may now select from the titles listed.
- Patrons are also welcome to check out single copies of Book Club Sets as long as the Circulation Status is “In.”
- If you check out a single copy, you do not need to do anything further.
- If you check out two or more copies of a single title, leave a note for (or send an e-mail to) Lori E. letting her know which set or items you loaned.
- If a patron wants a copy of the discussion questions, go to P:Book ClubMultiple Copies Discussion Questions. Each book has its own document which you can print for the patron. Or print directly from the PAC Link found in the “Notes” section of the book club set description.
- Book club sets check out for 6 weeks automatically. There is no need to reset the due date. There are no renewals on book club sets.
- Bags for book club sets are available on the bottom shelf located at the end of the TS work counter.
When Book Club Sets are returned, check them in using the normal procedure, and place them on the TS shelf in circulation or on the Book Club cart in TS. If you check in a book with a blocking note, please follow those check- in instructions
