When a branch is experiencing very low levels of material on the shelves or in situations where the shelves are bursting (and there are no other viable options such as weeding, shifting or displays) please email your Assistant Manger. The Assistant Manager will send an email out, using the Assistant Managers email group, looking for assistance in either obtaining material or sending material out. This will ensure that all branches are apprised of the need at the same time and all are equitably participating in meeting needs and responding base on their current branch situation.
Every service point has a card that is to be used to transfer floating material from one service point to another.
The cards are in the format:
USER ID: CSD-FLOATTRAN
Name: CSD-FLOATING COLLECTION TRANSFER
When selecting material to send to another service point be consistent in taking items from each shelf of a section. Ensure that you are not selecting items based on title, condition or circulations (this should have been done first. i.e.. weeding) This is a very quick, non-analyzed pulling from the shelf. Select randomly or consecutively from the beginning, middle or end of each shelf.
1. Select CHECKOUT
2. Choose LOOK UP USER
3. Enter the service point code (ex. CSD) and look through the list for the CSD-FLOATTRAN card
4. Check out the items
5. Put items in delivery.
1. Discharge all floating materials identified in your delivery as Floating.
2. Shelve the materials.
