4/19/17 Kendall Open Discussion Staff meeting

How many pennies should we keep?  5

For float it should only be duplicate items, they should be checked out to Ken Float. Check condition before putting in Ken float.  It is ok to float items with the yellow spine labels.  Children, Teen and adult items should be kept in separate crates for ease of review.

SRP will have new software this year Beanstalk we will set up training for it.  The whole program has been revamped.  Age groups separated different prizes.  No stickers’ now online secret codes.

KENDRV make sure you do not put that code when doing the card sign up or placing holds.  It causes issues the labels print weird and the item goes into transit.

Reminder to leave as a group for safety and to check that everyone’s car is working so they can leave.

Tagging make sure you are choosing the correct code when using the 3m converter.  If you find items on the shelf with incorrect coding modify it so that it will go in the correct bins later.

Bin 9 is fills up try re-running the items many times it will sort correctly the 2^nd time through.

On the Kendall Blog there is a barcode generator, on the staff links page.  As we move forward with the Express check this a tool to use for those customers that don’t have their cards. 

Patrick talked about new technology being purchased that will help in checking the shelves.  He called it a wand.

People talked about the Express check not checking out items with associated materials.  (After the meeting we were not able to duplicate the issue to show Patrick if you see the error message please write it down so we can report the issue.)  If the item is still checked out it should block the check out.  If on hold for another customer it should block the check out.  If the item has holds the express check should let the item check out.

Next staff meeting will be May 3 and we will be reviewing library card applications.
