Three Questions about your Annual Invoice
The State Library's business office is looking for ways to streamline our invoicing and payment processes. Please take a minute to respond to this three-question form so that we can make annual invoicing easier for everyone. Thank you for your help!
ILL Brief Record Procedure Reminder
This is a reminder that if you create brief records for incoming interlibrary loans, we ask that you please delete that brief record when the item is returned to the owning library. The steps to remove those brief records can be found here
If you do not currently create brief records for incoming ILL – it can help you track the items and collect circulation statistics more easily. See the above link for information on how to do this and open a help desk ticket if you have questions or need assistance getting started.
Deactivated Zoho Accounts
As we continue to clean up the backend of our help desk support system, you may have received an automated message from the system that your account profile has been deactivated. This message is a result of merging duplicate accounts and is part of our work to migrate to new statewide help desk software. If you have any questions, please open a help desk ticket.
BLUEcloud Analytics (BCA) - Collection Maintenance Reports
As shared in January, we have started a clean-up and reorganization of Shared Reports in BCA. You may have noticed we separated some reports in the Collection Maintenance folder that had previously been grouped together. Reports that all used to be in the Catalog Clean-Up Report Lists are now in one of two folders:
-
Catalog Clean-Up Reports
-
Catalog Error Reports
Within the ‘Catalog Error Reports’ folder, you will find access to three new reports to help with fixing possible typographical errors in bibliographic records. While doing this level of error clean-up is not required, we know it to be beneficial work. These reports prompt for MARC tag number, but not item library, so it is a truly altruistic endeavor!
If you would like us to reorganize or remove any reports in your library specific BCA folder, please open a help desk ticket.
