Staff Meeting Notes - 04/10/2017

Staff were provided a tour of the Jungman Library by Jungman Manager Dominic Spinelli.

(SK) Family Search Film Return:  Sherry Bush (LDS) officially notified us to no longer send back our short-term loan microfilms to LDS; It is now OK to advise patrons to order short-term loans instead of long-term loans, since neither are being sent back and it will save patrons money; We will eventually consolidate the short-term and long-term lists into a single list of holdings which we hope to have posted on our website by 2018; SB will notify the House volunteers of this policy change as well.

(SK)  Sue's Schedule:  Sue will be at TLA next week (Tue. Apr. 18 thru Sat. Apr. 22)

(SK)  Meeting Room Policy / Cell Phone Use / Food & Drink in the Library:  We are working to standardize both policy understanding and procedural enforcement of these issues so that all staff are on the same page and handle issues in the same way; Also want to increase visibility of these rules for patrons through better signage, information sheets for staff at Reference Desk, etc.  Stay tuned.

(BG/IW) Interlibrary Loan Returns:  When accepting the return of an ILL at the ref desk, be sure to:
(1) confirm that they are completely done  and not just turning it in for the day;
(2) go into SIRSI and immediately discharge item AND make note of discharge date in ILL notebook
(3) put ILL item on BD's or IW's desk

(SB)  Slide Scanner Demo:  SB provided  staff training on how to use the slide scanner, how to set it up for a patron, and how to reserve a time slot for a patron; We may get a few sign-ups since SB's article about it in the Clayton Town Crier just came out April 1st;  Please ask SB if you need a refresher on it or any assistance with it.
