Weekly Update – April 16, 2014

Evergreen Indiana Circulation Policies and Procedures Revised

The Patron Services Committee referred a full set of updates to the Executive Committee for review. All of the recommended updates were accepted and the revised materials are now posted on the ISL Evergreen Indiana Circulation Policy and Procedures page (http://www.in.gov/library/5094.htm). Please take a few minutes with your staff to read and confirm that you’re up to date with the latest policies and procedures.

MARC Field-Stripping Active

Evergreen Indiana catalogers will be pleased to note that the MARC field-stripping feature is now live. The 136 MARC tags which have been either deprecated or are not in use by the consortium will no longer import and will be automatically deleted. Existing records with these fields are not affected by this feature, but are under consideration for an automated housekeeping project later this year. Please let us know if you notice any unexpected content appearing or being removed from this process.
