NOTICE: New FLIP Kit Check-in Procedure Effective June 13th

Hello,

Please be aware that there is a new procedure for checking in FLIP Kits that staff are expected to follow starting on June 13, 2016. This procedure does two things our current procedure does not:

1. Staff can now easily distinguish records for FLIP Kits that are being refurbished from those that are missing, which should reduce the number of kits that fall out of the system while being refurbished.
2. Items will be "shadowed" while they are being refurbished, so they will not be visible in the OPAC and will not be paged to fill  holds.

The PowerPoint with the instructions have been attached. It has also been placed in the "Workflow Procedures" section of the blog under "Sirsi Processes." I will be meeting with each of you individually starting on Saturday to train you on this new procedure. In the interim, please review the attached procedures so that you may become familiar with it.

If you have any questions or concerns about the new procedure, you may contact the following persons:

• Circulation Administration (832-393-222, option 3)
• Fred Schumacher 
• Esther Reyes
• Sylvia Espinosa
