Knowledge Base: Library Help

All member library staff and volunteers are required to complete certain aspects of the Polaris permissions training. Each permissions tier builds on the knowledge of the last, so a manager would require all four tiers of training, while a volunteer might only require one or two, depending on their responsibilities.  In order to prevent interruption of Polaris/ Leap access, initial training must be completed by June 30th 2025.

The following are the Tier Breakdowns

Tier 1 - All Staff - FOIP and TRAC Operating Guidelines-- this should be reviewed bi-annually to ensure all staff and managers remain up to date and conversant with this information.

Tier 2 - Record Sets - this should be reviewed as needed to ensure knowledge and best practices remain fresh and up-to-date.

Tier 3 - Item Blocks & On-the-Fly Records - this should be reviewed as needed to ensure knowledge and best practices remain fresh and up-to-date.

Tier 4 - Merging Patrons & Changing Patron Home Branch - this should be reviewed as needed to ensure knowledge and best practices remain fresh and up-to-date.

Tier CP - Collection Processing Add-on - this should be reviewed as needed to ensure knowledge and best practices remain fresh and up-to-date.
