1.Subject searches can now be conducted for award winners using the terms Caldecott, Newbery, Coretta Scott King, and Printz. This excludes Black Eyed Susans.
2.Databases are being added into the catalog (format is "website") with the generic call number "Database." Customers will be able to click on the link, enter their validation, and move right into subscription databases.
3.Short Stories anthologies will feature call number " (Y) Short Stories" followed by the first three letters of the main entry. Catalog work will be done centrally and retrospective relabeling will be done.
4.The call number "GAME NINTEN" will be retired and replaced with "(J) GAME Wii A - Z" due to the popularity and brand recognition of Wii over its parent company Nintendo. Cataloging will handle the changes and labeling will be done retrospectively.
5.The new designation "J DVD Series A - Z" (patterned on the DVD SERIES collection, but think Backyardigans, Sesame Street, etc.) will be established and the loan period will be extended to 7-days although the rental fee will still apply. Current fiscal constraints do not allow us to eliminate the fee at this time. A new sticker is being developed that will help customers determine which DVDs cost money.
