(MH) 5 Minute Resource Sharing: reviewed tips from Cary Hall's "Organized or Trashed" talk at AKGS, including the importance of pedigree charts/family group sheets as well as using lineage society pedigree charts (which are of a slightly different format)
(SK) Required Training - Pronunciator Intro: 30 minute training required for all HPL frontline staff - be sure to sign the sheet on the table in the lounge when completed
(SK) Flash Drives For Sale: $5 each, 2 GB in size, limit 2 per person; see instruction sheet in the plastic bag by the coin box at RD1 for more information on how to sell these items
(SK) Clayton House - 100 Year Anniversary: CLF will host an event 2nd week of September; Sue is working on some gathering some photos and information in preparation for this event
(SK) Booking the Guest House / Main House: reminder that we do not book the Guest House or Main House to any new outside groups; only exceptions mentioned were the three established groups that routinely use it: African American His. Gen. Soc., Hispanic Gen. Soc., and Meller's group (NCNW)
(SK) New Ricoh Printer/Copier: You have to swipe your badge to access your print jobs and other features of the new copier; it is faster and does double-sided printing by default, but more labor-intensive; see IW for an intro if you want to use it; the small printer that sits behind ID is still the default printer for any print jobs sent from RD1 and RD2
(Team) Team Reports:
- JO - make sure all microfilm readers and printers are properly turned off when closing MPD
- SK - volunteer Steve Price's book indexes will soon be available on the Clayton website
- IW - progress is being made on the cataloging backlog of family histories
- IW - new book collection: "[State] in the American Revolution" - filed in USA section
(SK) Team Building: Staff worked in pairs with one staff member describing a physical object and the other staff member drawing it as closely as possible based on the description; exercise teaches the importance of clear communication
