Holds are very time sensitive as we move our data to Millennium. We want to reduce the number of holds and ILLs and prepare the existing holds and ILLs for the migration. In order for the migration to go as smoothly as possible, the following events will take place on the indicated days.
So patrons are aware of these dates, information will be added to online catalog pages, the web site, and given to patrons on bookmarks at checkout beginning on January 20.
Sunday
2/3
last day to place holds, interlibrary loan requests, and purchase requests
Monday
2/4
last day for a pick list
Wednesday
2/6
last day to run hold notices and emails and call holds.
Sunday
2/10
last day to check out holds to patrons or staff.
Monday

NO TRANSACTIONS ON GEAC PLUS AFTER 8:45 am. (checkouts, checkins, new patrons, holds checked out, express checkout, fines paid—NOTHING!!!)
We'll start using Millennium's special Migration program to do checkouts only. No other transactions can be done during this time.
Thursday
2/14
Go Live with regular Millennium. Circ will begin checking in some of the returned items. Regular checkout of holds and all other items begins. We go back to "normal".
