More Tax Information

This is from Kim:

1 We have received vol. 2 of the federal reproducible- this year however there is a separate index and pagination for each volume- for the tax cube copy I have created two separate volumes, for the info desk copy- I still have one volume with a divider between the two sections.

2 Ellen asked that I take out last years tax stuff from the BF now- I normally remove last years when I take down the current years tax items off the cube- but I will remove it now. Many years ago we kept 10 years back and since then we have had four years- but I am cutting our holdings to this year and last year- if someone needs other years there is always irs.gov.

Placing Holds for Customers in IMDS

When placing holds for customers in IMDS, please make sure to check off branch hold instead of institution hold if they're picking it up at Arbutus. If they pick a different pick up location, then of course you would have to do an institution hold.
