As part of the annual statistics Metro reports to ODL (the Oklahoma Department of Libraries) each year, we will soon be conducting a system-wide Reference Survey. Answering the questions of customers is an important part of the service that libraries provide to the public, and this survey aims to estimate the scale at which Metro libraries provide this service.

Outcomes Steering Committee Minutes

Submitted by morgan.jones on Tue, 08/28/2018 - 12:24

Based on the great work in the form of the Community Needs Assessment completed by the EPS Department and the Engagement Managers, it became apparent that for Metro to make progress in the six outcome areas will take a coordinated effort by not only our Public Services staff, but of the departments that support the ongoing work of the Library System. In order to support the outcomes on a system level and to make sure resources are available, a steering committee was formed and met for the first time last week.

Pronouncing Odilo

Submitted by sadie.bruce on Thu, 08/09/2018 - 13:33

After months of applying American English phonetics when discussing Odilo, it dawned on me that perhaps I was speaking incorrectly. I've been saying 'oh-deh-loh'.  I reached out to our rep and she very graciously informed me the correct prounounciation is 'odee-lo'. She then went a step further and sent me an mp4 so I could hear her say the word. 

I've attached the mp4 to this post. Have a listen! 

Note: the sound file is in a zip folder. If you have trouble opening the zip file and extracting the mp4, email me directly.
