System Setup

What you'll need

To aid you in setting up Circulation Plus/Catalog Plus quickly and accurately, we

recommend that you gather the following information before you start:



The official name of your site as you would like it to appear on reports, and

your MARC Organization Code (formerly known as holdings code), if

applicable.



Information about your barcode symbologies. If you purchased your

barcodes from Follett, this information appears on the packing slip that

arrived with your barcodes. If you're using another vendor, or aren't sure

what kind of barcodes you're using, please read Appendix D, Barcode

symbologies," before beginning to set up your software.



A list of the call number prefixes you use in your library, if any.



A list of circulation descriptions based on the types of books you have in

your collection. For example: 2week checkout" (fiction, biographies, etc.),

1hour checkout" (encyclopedias, dictionaries, maps), and Overnight

checkout" (general reference books).



If you want to use the Acquisitions feature, pertinent vendor and funding

source information.

In addition, if you purchased Circulation Plus, you'll want to gather together the

following:



A list of your patron groupings. For example: elementary school, middle

school, high school, parents or volunteers, staff, etc.



A copy of your library policy handbook, or a list of your circulation policies.



A copy of your school's or site's calendar that lists all of the closed days and

holidays for the current and upcoming year.
