Bursar integration/export

Investigate/inquire how UCSC & UCD export fees to bursar

20?

Sahra/Antonio?/Nicole?

Follow up on the UC Consortial Block Decision for 04/05 blocks.

UCSC & UCD export fees to bursar, causing balances to zero out. is there a way to generate a report that is not tied to fine/fee balances? The goal is for Libraries to have local control over 04 or 05 blocks and if something is kicked out to the bursar’s office, it adds another layer of complexity and time) into the process.

Notes from last meeting:

At UCSC the process is manual and is done weekly. Once it’s sent, a staff member goes into Alma and manually waives the fines/fees. Feels tedious. Usually has to go into “lost” status before sending - depends on item.

UCD, export is a scheduled daily job. When we credit back onto people’s accounts it’s manual. Has to go into “lost” status before being sent. Uses banner reports to generate and remove blocks.

Once sent to bursar, the Library takes a bath on the item and the patron can continue to check out items (and make AFN requests). Unless another block is placed.

UCB doesn’t deal with the bursar (and hasn't for years). Takes payment directly via PayPal - took 3 years to get it set up. UCR also accepts PayPal.

Action items from last meeting:

UCSC will inquire about what happens on the AFN if a patron is blocked (or unblocked but still has business with the bursar).

UCD will inquire about what happens when fines are paid and how that interacts with blocks.

UCD Role "problem”

Greg at UCD noticed newly registered users were being automatically assigned a “package” of role assignments (including general system administrator!).

This was solved. Turned out to be a mistake made by campus IT when assigning newly created accounts.

Expired network user records

UCR student was trying to loan an AFN item from UCLA. The UCLA stub account was expired which prevented them from loaning the UCLA book at UCR.

Sahra/Sandra?

Very strange that an expired stub account will prevent circulation at the patron’s home campus, but the system can’t communicate about a cash limit block….this may warrant further testing/investigation and could provide helpful for the F/RS AFN Consortial Block Testing group.
