Hello Elizabeth, We have a relatively small circ staff and are not reliant on student workers. We have individual accounts for all persons who work with Voyager. It's very easy to set up an individual account, and restrict their authority in the circulation set-up in Sys Admn. It would be a maintenance routine to delete any employee (regardless of status) when that employee is no longer in need of Voyager access. Considering how long MCC has been using Voyager, it seems a bit odd that a fundamental policy such as this would be still unresolved. Good luck! John John D.

Hello All, I am faced with a bit of a challenge in that our access services supervisor has requested to have operator accounts for the students that work under her supervision. The student assistants would be responsible for working the circulation desk, including performing various tasks using the circulation module. Our IT Department has very specific guidelines governing accounts, passwords and overall software use, and I am just wondering how you and your libraries handle non full-time employees (students, volunteers, part-time, etc.) having access to specifically the circulation module. Our access services supervisor has had previous experiences where students were afforded generic log-on/accounts, and she has suggested this as a possibility with Voyagers circulation module. I also have had previous experiences like this, but the IT guidelines were a little less specific concerning passwords, user rights and privileges. Any feedback and ideas would be sincerely appreciated, especially since we are trying to complete this request for accounts before the July 4th holiday. Best regards and thanks, Elizabeth M.
