Christopher Chavez: Patron Claims Returned

When a patron claims an item on their account has been returned, have them fill out an orange PCR form.

This form will include their name, library barcode, email address and all pertinent information about the book in dispute.

Christopher Chavez: Locates

Locates are search requests for items that Homer indicates are in the bookstacks and should be available for check-out but cannot be found.

When a patron informs you that a book that should be in the bookstacks is missing, do a search in Homer to make sure that the book is indeed a Leavey copy and to see if there are any other copies available. If you can confirm that there is no copy available, offer the patron to place a Locate search.

All Locate searches should be placed through the Workflows/Sirsi database.
