Circulation status information now available for UCB

April 5, 2000 Author: CDLCategories:

The Melvyl Catalog now includes the circulation status information for items held by UC Berkeley. You can see the circulation status of a particular item by pressing the (UCB+circ status) link in your record display, or by selecting “UC Berkeley (+circ status)” from the Display Options menu. With the implementation of circulation status information for UCB items, the circulation status of 7 of the 9 UC campuses is now available online.

UC Santa Barbara is currently working on a software enhancement to their system so work on the implementation of UCSB circulation links should begin by late summer 2000.

Implementation of circ links for UCLA has not yet been scheduled since UCLA is in the process of implementing a new system. We will schedule a date as soon as UCLA is ready.

Please note: circulation links are a critical component of implementing the new Request policy of borrowing items from other campuses if that item has been checked out locally.
