Sierra Reminder

IMPORTANT

Sierra is a shared system with many other colleges throughout Ohio. This means that when you search for someone's name, you may see accounts for people at other colleges. MAKE SURE that the account you are accessing is MOUNT CARMEL account. It will say MTCAR or MCCN in the PType field, as below:

If you find an account with the correct name, but it DOES NOT SAY MTCAR or MCCN, IT IS NOT THE CORRECT ACCOUNT. 

BE SURE TO LOOK FOR THIS WHEN CHECKING OUT ITEMS TO OUR PATRONS, we have had a few items be checked out to library users from other schools lately and this causes a problem because we can't always figure out who really has the item. 

Some of our staff and students also have existing accounts at other schools if they transferred or teach as adjuncts, but they MUST USE THEIR MOUNT CARMEL ACCOUNT TO CHECK OUT OUR BOOKS.


REMEMBER: Hospital staff accounts are not automatically created, so it is very possible that our users, especially those asking for ACLS and BLS books, will need a new account made. 

Let Allison or Noreen know if you have any questions!
