- Meg asked how staff can avoid working on paging past the assigned time given.
- Three suggestions were given:
- 2 people are assigned, (1) person find the items and the other person scans the items in.
- Each person assigned page for 45 minutes to 1 hour, the next hour the items are to be marked missing (if you don’t find the item on the list) and then start scanning.
- If the (2) assigned to Paging are unable to complete their task whoever has a blank hour @ 12 could help by scanning all items in.
- There will be times when you’re unable to complete the entire list, do what you can.
- Julie gave several print outs labeled Spanish Translations. One of her Smart Goals is to conduct a class with the Staff on Mondays and Wednesdays on how to communicate with Spanish patrons. Julie would like to post the print outs on Kendall’s blog.
- There has been an ongoing problem with books in the sort room not being placed in the correct order. (Example: Adult fiction cart has Central books and YA on it). The hold shelf is out order. The shelf starting from the As not filed alphabetically. It is not the volunteers.
- If you’re assigned to load AV please be careful not to load CDs and non-fiction DVDs. The AllCirc machine has been ejecting CDs and non-fiction disks. Please make sure the ADU AV is loaded in the ADU machine (2nd fl) and the JUV AV is loaded in the JUV machine.
- Staff has been showing up to their assigned locations late and it becomes a domino effect. If you are relieved 8 minutes late and you’re going to lunch it does not mean you take an extra 8 minutes for lunch. If you’re with a patron and you’re due at another location please call the person you’re relieving to inform them what the hold-up is. (You’re doing an application, assisting a customer, etc…)
- Patrick (Kendall’s Custodian) needs to wear a Vocera. For those wearing the vocera you can dial them at 31499.
- Leona stated the Scholastic books are not here yet. Central said they’re on the way. Please make a note in the file the patron did not receive their books but did get the Chipotle coupon and bag.
- Once the Read Down Your Fines coupon is received by the patron please put the library card #, date, location and your initials on the back. Also remember to stamp the back with the Kendall stamp.
