Grad thesis-only problem (not in Voyager patron database)
Jun 20 2008, 4:04 PM EDT This ‘grad thesis only’ problem was mentioned at the Summer Conference. This works at UW Oshkosh. Thesis-only students are not in a registered class so they aren't in the active patron database. This frustrates students when they want to use the library services, so we contacted the Graduate office and explained that we would like to make library interactions smoother for these students. The Graduate office now provides us with an updated list three times a year (following graduations in May, August and December) of ‘thesis-only’ graduate students and we manually make a patron record in a separate patron category, "Grad student thesis." Their record expires in one year, or is extended if they appear on the list again. 1 out of 1 found this valuable. Do you? |
