ATTN: InterLibrary Loan Audio-Visual Material

From Rodney Hall, 10:03AM:

A large number of Audio/Visual materials borrowed from another library system are not receiving proper attention during the delivery/transit process.  When these items are placed into transit, they should be bubble wrapped and placed into an envelope, or some other method of secure packaging. 

Please remind your staff of this policy.  If you have any questions, please contact one of us in Interlibrary Loan. 

NOTE: So they don't get damaged (then we have to pay for them. . .).   Envelopes and bubble wrap are in a box on the workroom table or by the ILL items waiting for pickup at the Info Desk.  Karen

Where to Send Damaged Items

From Marianne Lorio, 8/7:
It's been brought to my attention that Central is receiving a number of damaged AV that should be sent to LMS. We think part of this is due to unintentional confusion. While LMS is psychically at Central is not part of Central. (You all share us equally.😊) 

When you send damaged AV to Central it will not be delivered to LMS. Central has enough to do without having to be responsible for the entire system's damaged AV. If, for example, the audiobook disc you have belongs to an audiobook located at Central, please do send it to Central. 

Otherwise please indicate the item is going to LMS. Damaged audiobooks come to me. Discs that need cleaning go to Floating usually (there is a hiatus while we get a new disc cleaner). Please contact me with any questions.
