GIL Express suspension for winter break

Per email from Viki Timian (Head of Access Services, UGA):

The winter holidays are fast approaching and with that brings closings and the routine suspension of GIL Express Remote Requests. Based on the library closings:

The last day for GE Remote requests would be Tuesday 12/13 (suspend at 11:59pm) Allowing for a few days to process those requests, the last day for STAT deliveries/pickups would be Friday 12/16.

Patrons will still be able to do walk-up transactions during this time - only the request function in the UC will be unavailable.

We will resume GE Remote requests on Monday 1/2. Some schools will be closed this day but there will be requests in our Callslips to process the next morning. All schools are back in session on Tuesday 1/3 so that is when STAT deliveries/pickups will resume. (No Deliveries 12/19 - 1/2) For the latest iteration of the closed calendars through December please see http://gilexpress.usg.edu/staff/closed_dates_usg.html

A scrolling banner will be prepared and will appear in the Universal Catalog on 12/1 letting patrons know.
