What's New for Member Libraries
What's New in WALS

Salutations!
Today's Topic: Let's play "Find that Patron!!"
With the rising costs of Hoopla and long hold lists on Libby, it is more imporant than ever to always, always, check carefully for duplicate patrons whenever issuing a new card.
Complicating matters, it was determined at an ALL-WALS meeting that all WALS libraries would enter patron names "as written" (except in ALL-CAPS) on their ID or application form. This means that VanderZanden gets entered as "VANDERZANDEN" and "Van der Zanden" gets entered as "VAN DER ZANDEN." This means last names won't sort together anymore. You need to search by Phone, Street, and Birthdate. Read More...
What's New in General

Due to lack of financial support, Flipster will be discontinued when our subscription is up on March 31st. I will be putting a notice on the Research pages during early February to let patrons know. If you currently have it featured somewhere on your website, you’ll want to start thinking about what you might want to put in its place.
