Date | Changed | Full Description |

March 22, 2023 | Turned on Lost item limit blocks |
|
Added notices to the Hourly notice policy |
| |
Added a new Transfer account | Added a new transfer account "Bad Debt" under the Olin fee/fine owner. This transfer account will be used to move over fee/fines that can not be transferred to the bursar's office. | |
February 3rd, 2023 | Moved Mann Special collections from the Mann Service point to the Mann Special Collections Service Point. | This is needed for processing items housed in Mann Special Collections. |
January 20th, 2023 | Updated patron notice templates | Updated patron notice templates with URLs from the new main library website. |
January 12th, 2023 | Created service point Mann Special Collections Service Point + corresponding calendar | Cammie Wyckoff adapted service point configurations from Annex service point, and Andy used the "universal" calendar settings for it. |
December 1st, 2022 | Made two temporary changes to Law's service points | In response to a request from Cynthia Lange, made the following two changes to Law’s pickup locations in Blacklight:
|
December 1st, 2022 | Updated names of pickup locations in Blacklight | In response to requests from Bonna Boettcher and Zsuzsa Koltay, made minor changes to the names of a number of pickup locations in Blacklight to conform to CUL's style guide |
October 13th, 2022 | Made a number of changes to Ornithology's service points | In response to a request from Shayla Harrington, made the following changes to Ornithology’s pickup locations in Blacklight and FOLIO service points:
|
September 12th, 2022 | Removed Ornithology Circ as a pickup point | Due to staffing issues Ornithology Circulation desk has been removed as a pickup location in FOLIO and in the OPAC. Contactless pickup is still active. |
August 29th, 2022 | Updated Standard Overdue Notice | Moved line about recall fees further down in the notice and reworded it per a request from the Access Services Team. |
August 26th, 2022 | Removed the temp Circulation rule for ILS | The rule was written to cover items imported from Voyager that had a different Loan type and material type mapping. This rule is being removed as it is not needed anymore.
/TEMP POLICY -- Remove after all materials are returned. |
August 25th, 2022 | Loan types added:
| The new Loan types, supporting Loan policies and Circulation rules were added to accommodate a request from ILS for more Loan types. The Loan types are needed for items that are loaned to Cornell patrons with more restricted loan periods. All new Loan types use a non-circulating Loan policy. NOTE: if Circulating and non-circulating variations of the policies are needed I would suggest creating a new Material Type instead of new Loan types. |
August 16th, 2022 | Added two fixed calendars; Laptop Calendar & Locker Keys | Added two fixed calendars for use with the new Equipment and Key loan types. |
August 16th, 2022 | Created service point Olin/Kroch Carrel and Research Space + corresponding calendar | Adapted service point configurations from other Remote Program service points and used the "universal" calendar settings per request of Michelle Hubbell. |
July 28th 2022 | Loan Policy added:
| This loan policy was added to be used with the new 'Keys short term' Loan type. This was to keep the loan period the same as equipment but limit the keys so they had to be returned at closing instead of passing onto the next business day. |
July, 2022 6 | Loan types added:
Supporting Loan policies and Circulation Rules were added | These new loan types are to be used exclusively for keys and equipment in FOLIO instead of 3-hour, 14-day, and 3-day. The proposal was passed by ASST and AST earlier in the year. The addition of these loan types will provide greater flexibility in the future as well as making less confusing for staff when adding new equipment records. Old records will slowly be updated to the new Loan types. |
July, 2022 | Carrel patron group loan period from 6 months to 1 year loan period | In Voyager the loan period for the carrel patron type was one year but when these policies were moved to FOLIO it was changed to 6 months. After consultation with Caitlan Mathes (Music) and Michelle Nair (OKU) there were no objections or foreseen implications to change. |
July, 2022 | Turned off: "No fees/fines shall be refunded if a lost item is returned more than x days late" | We toggled off the "No fees/fines shall be refunded if a lost item is returned more than x days late" configuration in Settings-->Circulation-->Fee/fine-->Lost item fee policies-->General collection repl (default) + Reserves replacement in consultation with Michelle Hubbell from the Library Public Services Office in response to a question from members of the Access Services Team. Previously this setting was set to not refund fees/fines for General collection and Reserves items returned 180 days or more late to mimic a Voyager-era policy (there was no equivalent setting) which no longer makes sense in the Voyager environment. |
March, 2022 | Updated cancellation template | We removed the line "We apologize for this inconvenience” from our Patron-initiated request cancellation template per a decision made by the Access Services Team |
January, 2022 | Changed Recall Policies | Updated loan policies to allow recalls to extend due dates for overdue loans to prevent a scenario whereby patrons are immediately charged overdue fees upon an item checked out to them being recalled because it is already overdue (e.g. a patron who has an item which was due on December 1 would immediately be charged $30 if it is recalled on December 11 since it is 10 days overdue and our recall fine is $3/day) |
January, 2022 | Updated Item Available Reminders | Added the line “Library hours can be found here: https://www.library.cornell.edu/libraries” to our Item Available + Item Available Reminder Notices |
October, 2021 | Multiple changes |
|
