Get the basics of circulation in Sierra – great for new staff or as a refresher.

This webinar will cover the fundamental knowledge and procedures for working at the circ desk of any MHLS library, including resource sharing among libraries, creating new accounts, managing holds, dealing with fines and fees, and more. Attendees should leave with the confidence to handle the majority of their day-to-day circulation tasks.

Introduction to Sierra Circulation is designed with new staff in mind, but all are welcome.

The webinar will be recorded.
