The JerseyCat staff at the State Library is committed to ensuring that our member libraries are getting most out of the JerseyCat interlibrary loan system. To that end, I will be visiting NJ libraries this spring to observe how they are using the system, seeing what works (or what doesn't work) on a day-to-day basis. I will also be soliciting comments about any improvements or changes that users think should be made to the system. I can also do training sessions for any libraries who request.    If you w ...Continue Reading

Auto-Graphics identified a problem/flaw with ISO messaging that is preventing returned out of state loans from being deleted. So far they have not been able to fix this problem. So, as a workaround, they went in and deleted any items that were in the return file prior to January of this year. If they are not able to fix the ISO problem so that returns are deleted one by one (as they should be) they will instead run the clean up every quarter. So, all returns older than this year should have been deleted from your file. ...Continue Reading

If you have sent return numbers for deletion please be patient. We have had so many that Auto-Graphics is trying to come up with a quicker solution. They will be deleted in the near future. Original message:  Many libraries have items stuck in their Returned files, some have been there for years. Most of these are for loans that came from out of state through OCLC. These can be identified by AGEXTERNAL preceding the lending library in the Lender column. If you have any of these, please send me the numbers and I w ...Continue Reading
