[Michlib-l] Contacting home libraries for non-resident cards

[Kelly Bennett]

Hi all,



I was wondering how many of you call a patron's home library before
entering a non-resident or guest card into your system.


As part of the Library Network, the majority of our visitors have cards
already in our shared system, but there are some that are not, including
MILibrary Card holders. Do you call or contact these types of patron's home
libraries before giving them privileges? If so, do you allow patrons some
limited privileges before you validated that their account is in good
standing? What methods do you use to contact and keep track of these
patrons?


You can answer off list and I can post the compiled responses.


Thanks!
