| Date | Changed | Full Description |
|---|---|---|
| August, 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 |
