I have been getting a steady stream of overdue notices from OCLC libraries. If your library has overdue items from out of state libraries please make every effort to track them down and return them. This is especially important because OCLC libraries lend to JerseyCat libraries through the symbol NJQ. Many of these libraries block or put a hold on loans to NJQ when there are outstanding overdue items. This means that all JerseyCat libraries (not just the one who borrowed the specific item) can be blocked by an o ...Continue Reading

Good morning Everyone and Happy New Year! I have been trying to go through the Auto-graphics manual to figure out how to populate the Patron Lookup portion of the ILL request form.

Reminder, e-books or any items in electronic format are not loanable through JerseyCat. JerseyCat calls all of these “online resources” If you see that tag in the bib record, please do not request that item. Do another search and see if there is a bib record for a hard copy. Thanks.

JerseyCat is up and running. The delivery service is back. However some libraries aren’t borrowing/lending yet. If your library is one of those, please put your account on holiday so loan requests don’t get held up unnecessarily. To do so: From Staff Dashboard look for Participant Record under the ILL Administration tab. Scroll down to the Holiday Settings grid. Enter a start date (today) and an end date (when you anticipate resuming JerseyCat). You can always change the end date (forward or back) if circumstanc ...Continue Reading

With the resumption of delivery service, there is no need to use the ILL workaround of creating blank requests. Just search and place requests as you did before the pandemic forced closures.

With delivery restarting next Monday, October 19, libraries can go back to using JerseyCat the usual way and request from New Jersey libraries.

If anything needs clarification please contact LibraryLink directly. Please do not reply to this list. Thanks. Casey Confoy JerseyCat – NJSL cconfoy@PROTECTED 609-278-2640 ...Continue Reading

It seems that some lenders codes (approximately a dozen) are being kicked out by the system. I am going to have to work through these one by one and see what the problem is. If you haven’t changed the lender list yet, please hold until later today. If you have already changed, that is no problem. There number of blocked lenders is basically inconsequential – you can move to the revised list at your leisure. Casey Confoy JerseyCat – NJSL cconfoy@PROTECTED 609-278-2640 x114 ...Continue Reading

JerseyCat has new Preferred Lender lists. There are now 22 lists, one for each county with the exception of Bergen, which has two. These lists are ordered by geographical proximity, type and size of potential lender (public, academic, school, and special), and lending history of these libraries. Implementing the new lists will result in faster turnaround times and improved fill rates. Once JerseyCat is up and running at a somewhat normal rate, users will see a better, more efficient interlibraryloan ...Continue Reading
