In the 1(1) spreadsheet under the Received TOU tab, Policy item 7: Personal Delivery. Is this the “turn on” policy for enabling DDS through the AFN, or for a local UC to be able to test how it works through the test load environment. Can it be set to either All, Home or Office (not sure which one is best) for the test load to give UC’s who want to test it the availability? And those who don’t can simply ignore this.
In the 1(1) spreadsheet under the Loan TOU tab, Policy type 8: Is recallable. This is set to false. I know there are other rules that feed into this, but it is confusing how it is listed. Does this mean the lender cannot do recalls through the AFN, or is it set like this to prevent wacky things from happening such as having a UCR user request a recall from UCSB to be delivered to UCI, for example. I’m assuming we only want the lender (that is the lender circulation department) to have the ability to recall their own books, and no one else. Is this something that needs to be tested in the test load to make sure a “third” party cannot recall someone else’s book? Thanks for the clarifications.

Questions from UCI
Patron Records: A UCR user walks in and checks out a UCI book. UCI uses the replicated patron Alma record provided by the UCR Alma to check out. Will UCI be able to add notes locally to another UC’s patron record? In this example the UCR user. (e.g. They left their ID card or we waived fines and told them it was one-time only.)
Billing: In the fulfillment network If a UCI student loses/damages a UCLA book, is the issue of the charge in between the UCI student and UCI or the UCI student and UCLA? What if a graduation hold/fine needs to be placed on the UCI user.? Does UCI do that or UCLA?
Update from Joe: Supplier of last resort" workflow is now working in the Vanguard. The requests go to the test version of VDX (https://ucill.vdxhost.com:8443/vdx/). The borrowing library has to be Powell or YRL; the request should be for a monograph loan; the patron must have a barcode set (there is one set on the Academic user). And of course the request must not be available in the Vanguard.
