Policy Statement:
Current: COLD recommends that all CSU libraries stop placing holds and recalls on checked out items.
- If an item is currently checked out the patron should be encouraged to place a Resource Sharing request.
- Library staff may still place holds and recalls.
- Primo should be configured to display RS link automatically to patron if copies are all checked out.
Proposed Change: No proposed change
Rationale:
- Patrons are encouraged to place a resource sharing (CSU+ and Interlibrary Loan) request if their home library copy is checked out. Patrons will probably receive items faster by requesting them through resource sharing instead of waiting for a specific copy to be returned.
- Items that are needed for Course Reserves can still be recalled by library staff.
