FIXED: Overdrive issue with IE9

The following was an issue, but it has been fixed: 
Overdrive apparently made changes to their website recently that have made it impossible for customers to check out items if they are using Internet Explorer 9.  If you encounter customers with this problem, please ask them to use IE8, Google Chrome, or Firefox.  Overdrive is working on the problem but it may take a few days to correct.

Handling non-HPL items returned to us


Hello all.

In order to ensure that all returned ILL items are properly checked in and returned to the right institutions, please send all non-HPL items you receive through your book drop and/or at the return desk to HPL’s ILL Department.  The ILL staff members will make sure that any items acquired through their system are properly checked in on Navigator and returned to the owning institutions.  Items they determine were not borrowed through them will be forwarded to Circulation Administration for return to the owning institution.  This includes Harris County Public Library items returned to your location.

If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact Circulation Administration or HPL ILL. 

Thanks.
Fred Schumacher
