Periodicals Paging to Begin April 21

Beginning Monday April 21 we will open up all barcoded bound and unbound periodicals to paging both locally and through Summit. We will run this as a pilot during Spring quarter and then assess any process and workload issues during the summer. The material types that will be made pageable are #26 - Periodical and #46 - Unbound Periodical.
Material paged at UW library units would go out with the same loan period as at the owning unit. Periodicals with a 3 day loan would go on the hold shelf for 3 days and periodicals with a 7 day loan or longer would go on the hold shelf for 7 days. Material checked out to Summit would stay on the hold shelf for 3 days and have a loan period of 3 days.
