Compensation/Classification and Performance Management Studies
The Singer Group held three (3) communication meetings open to all staff over two days – February 27th and 28th. The purpose of the meetings was to give an overview of the process, as well as outline expected staff roles. The meetings also provided an opportunity for staff to ask the Consultants questions about the study. Each meeting included focus groups where staff broke up into groups to discuss compensation, classification and performance management at the library.

From our neighbors at the Department of Health comes Ok2Explore, a free searchable Oklahoma birth and death index. This database serves as a quick tool for genealogists or people looking to confirm a birth/death date, county, name, etc. You can find Ok2Explore on our Research page.

Good afternoon staff,
We have developed an intranet page for communicating system-wide projects that can be found under the Resources tab. We’ve begun by adding a few operational projects but expect to post more in the future. We will be posting updates to the projects as we go along. This page is for system-wide projects and local projects that might be of high interest to other libraries or departments. Let me know if you are interested in posting a project to the page.

We in Cataloging and the Collection Anywhere group have heard that there has been a lot of confusion about the way that spine labels appear on graphic format novels recently.
Graphic formats are becoming a larger part of library collections all the time. Libraries and catalogers are still trying to come up with a simple, standard method of classifying and shelving them.
