Minervians,</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=481043918-09012009>Because Effiecieny
Maine has asked that the energy meters be loaned for one week, I have
created a new Item Type: 97/197 for 7-day equipment/Non-req 7-day
equipment. It has a generic label so it can be used for more than the energy
meters. </SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=481043918-09012009>I've changed the
Minerva and MaineCat Loan Rule Determiner Tables. For intra-Minerva
loans, they've been added to both the "fine" and "no fine" lines for
7-day loans. Item type 97 has been mapped to the 7-day MaineCat loan rule;
197 will be non-requestable in MaineCat. </SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=481043918-09012009>There are currently
112 items on the Kill-a-Watt bib record. I will globally update them: any
with item types 0-99 will be changed to 97; any with item types over 100 will be
changed to 197. I'll do that this afternoon. </SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=481043918-09012009>For local loans,
these item will loan based upon how you have cataloged them. If you put them in
a location that loans for 7 days (such as an AV location) and you don't specify
how different item types in that location lend, the meters will fall under
whatever loan rule is assigned to that location. If your library uses item types
as well as location codes for loan rules, please open a ticket so I can update
the loan rule determiner table (the new 7-day equipment item types won't
automatically default to a local 7-day loan unless they are added to the table).

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=481043918-09012009>Some libraries have
asked for new location codes for these items. For now, please put them in a
location code that most closely fits how you want these items to loan and the
new location codes will be created as soon as possible.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
