Handling Overlay Cards

Study the WYLD Technote for details about how to handle overlay cards

http://www-wsl.state.wy.us/wyld/technotes/note110.html

Check to make sure the card filled out correctly

• Signed
• All data we need is there
• Initialed by staff

Check to make sure that the data has been entered correctly:

• Overlayed existing card, not created duplicate card
• Library AND Profile to ALBY
• All data entered the way we do for new cards (Demographics etc.)

Inform other library when needed.  We only need to inform libraries on this list:

http://www-wsl.state.wy.us/wyld/technotes/notifyme.html

For those we just need to send an email to the address listed giving the name of the patron, their barcode, and that we've overlayed them.  For example:

To: circmgr@library.org

Re: overlay

Hi,
