Rotating Collections

+ +

Rotating Collections is a tool for managing collections of materials that frequently get shifted from library to library. It adds the ability to store not only an item's home library and current location, but also information about where it is supposed to be transferred to next to ensure that all items in the collection are sent to the correct library. When an item in a rotating collection is checked in, library staff are notified that the item is part of a rotating collection and which branch it should be sent to if it is not at the correct one.
