AFN Library Use Only/RLF Barcodes

We've been having difficulty identifying RLF material that is library use only.  I'm wondering if others are having similar experiences and how we can address it.

parking lot:

• Ongoing letter maintenance. Is there value in doing ongoing maintenance of letters; maybe quarterly? Make sure that each campus is sending consistent messaging. Related to the text that we word-smithed in the line above. 3/11 - Will leave on agenda for a few meeting cycles and revisit after decision page for On Hold Shelf letter is finalized.

For future discussion:

• Each campus should share what we use for ID cards: Mag Swipe, Barcode, RFID, Mobile ID, etc. Discuss how we can provide better service to users who borrow materials outside of their home campus. Potential mix of staff training and user education?
