August 26th, 2022Removed 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. 
    /This policy is just to cover items that where created under Voyager

August 25th, 2022

Loan types added:

  • ILL LOAN 1 Week
  • ILL LOAN 2 Weeks
  • ILL LOAN 4 Weeks
  • ILL LOAN 6 Weeks

The new Loan types, supporting Loan policies and Circulation rules where added to accommodate a requests from ILS for more Loan types. The Loan type are needed for items that are loaned to Cornell patrons with more restricted loan periods. All new Loan types us 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, 2022Added two fixed calendars; Laptop Calendar & Locker KeysAdded two fixed calendars for use with the new Equipment and Key loan types.
August 16th, 2022Created service point Olin/Kroch Carrel and Research Space + corresponding calendarAdapted 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:

  • 3-hours due at close
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:

  • Equipment short term
  • Equipment long term
  • Equipment extended loan
  • Keys short term
  • Keys long term
  • keys extended loan

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, 2022Carrel patron group loan period from 6 months to 1 year loan periodIn 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, 2022Turned 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, 2022Updated 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, 2022Changed 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, 2022Updated 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, 2021Multiple changes
  • Updated link to info about returns in notices from https://www.library.cornell.edu/covid-19#return-cul to https://www.library.cornell.edu/services/borrow/return.
  • Added word “INACTIVE” to the front of names of “Africana Contactless Pickup” and “Mann Remote Delivery” service points and deactivated the former as a pickup location. (cannot delete at this time, but will asap)

  • Changed font size of {{staffSlip.Name}} token on Hold, Pick slip, and Transit staff slips from small to normal and bolded it.
