Special memberships - program and in-branch cards

Program and In-Branch cards are special staff memberships for work-related use like programming, displays, bindery etc.

Each Program and In-Branch card must be entered in UPPERCASE and begin with the branch, division or department CODE, followed by a dash (no spaces) and a description of the card (e.g. WOO-BINDERY, JPL-48 HOUR HOLD, ABB-YRCA).

Please keep additional programming accounts to a minimum for your location.

For a program card, the 3 letter location code appears first so it is possible to retrieve all service point accounts in User Display by the branch code. A comma separates the description of the card (e.g. PROGRAM) from the name of the staff (e.g. ABB-PROGRAM, John Doe; WMC-PROGRAM, Jane M. Dewey).

NOTE: When the correct profile (EPL-SPECIA) is selected the holds limit assigned to these memberships is 500 instead of 25, the loan period is 28 days instead of 21 days and an override is not required for more than 40 items or item types.
