Transfering Fiction Titles

The Collection Development Department, in conjunction with Neighborhood Libraries, has launched a pilot project to use CollectionHQ to transfer fiction titles between locations. This was discussed at the CollectionHQ training session held at the Central Library on 1/15/2015. If you are not familiar with this project, please read a copy of the e-mail related to the subject (below). Feel free to contact Collection Development (x31469) or Patrick Atkins with any questions.


From Patrick Atkins: (Sent via e-mail on 1/22/2015)

The new dataset is now available in CollectionHQ for managers (or designee) to begin the shopping process.

You will have one week to do the appropriate shopping in the Popular Author Transfer as well as the Floating Pull tools.

Beginning next Friday(January 30th), the transfer list portion of the procedure will begin.

You will then have two weeks to finish the transfer process.

This includes finding and transferring the items to the location that has requested them.

Also, the new location must then check them in and place them on the shelf.

This should be complete by February 13th.

Remember to use the printed out PDF files from CollectionHQ as the transit slip for each batch of books going to a specific library.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.

Thank you.
