3m/Bibliotheca 877 C-Series and TLC
by Eric Blum 11 Apr '17

11 Apr '17

Hello Everyone, At our library, we have TLC for our ILS and an 877 C-Series automatic check-in by 3M/Bibliotheca. We have found that there are exceptions that prevent an item from being checked in. When we uncheck all the exceptions, all the items should be checked in. However, TLC does not seem to recognize whether or not these exceptions are applied. All items with holds, fines, long overdue, etc are not checked in. Basically an item must have a completely clear record to be checked in successfully. I have spoken with TLC and Bibliotheca. TLC has not been very accommodating and Bibliotheca seems to only have limited options. Currently our solution has been to use the Digital Library Assistant to scan returned items in order to pick out the items not checked in. Has anybody had success getting TLC to do automatic check-in and what did you do to accomplish this? Thanks for your feedback! Thanks, Eric G Blum Head of Cataloging/Technology Lincoln Township Public Library Ph: 269-429-9575 ext) 123 Fax: 269-429-3500 www.lincolnlib.org

Webinar tomorrow - Building a Digital Image Collection With Flickr: A low (or no) cost way to share your digital assets
by Corey Seeman 11 Apr '17

11 Apr '17

Hi everyone - Please pardon the self-promotion, but I am doing a webinar for NCompass Live (Nebraska Library Commission) tomorrow - April 12, 2017 at 11am Eastern/10am Central. The topic is: Building a Digital Image Collection With Flickr: A low (or no) cost way to share your digital assets Even though registration is closed, you can still see the webinar tomorrow by going to this link: http://nlc.nebraska.gov/scripts/calendar/eventshow.asp?ProgID=16075 Libraries have many options of services to store and share digital assets, including many from library automation vendors. Instead of looking at library vendors, one option is to use a photo sharing resource such as Flickr (from yahoo.com) From a very active Flickr user, this presentation will showcase how you can use this free resource to promote, organize and share your digital assets. Of particular note is using Flickr groups and tagging to make items from your collection accessible and findable by community residents as well as people all over the world. The presentation will also explore how different libraries are using Flickr for collections and program-related images.
