iFind and srConfirm Demos – Jimmy Welch & Anne Fischer, IT
Jimmy and Anne gave a quick demonstration of iFind/iWeed. Jimmy indicated this process is another green project with hopes to make weeding easier. Anne shared that before demonstrating, she practiced emailing ED tracer list to Jimmy to be certain everything was functioning properly. She informed the managers that the entire list with the summary giving status of items will be available every Thursday and the list will be updated daily. Jimmy asked managers to set an implementation date. Managers agreed on April 12 as the implementation date.
Anne informed the managers that ED has been using srConfirm with scanners that are Bluetooth connected to scan label bar codes and other codes on the items. Melody shared ED’s experience. She stated that Anne came on site to train Mary Beth, Library Aide and she has already trained a couple of other staff members. She indicated the iPad is pretty simple and that she really likes the list being readily available. Anne asked the managers to forward an email to her if they are interested in having an iPad at their location so funds may be added to the budget. Kay stated the advantages in having the iPad is that materials can be processed in the stacks and staff is able to view their work. She also stressed the importance of having a system in place at all of the libraries.
