Steps to take if an iPad is not returned

Look up which customer has the iPad in Carl.X. The iPads are listed with the title of “MLS iPad” in Carl.X. You can do a Title Word search for “MLS iPad” in Carl.X on the Item Information screen.  Highlight the item that is still checked out and “double-click” on the item.  This will bring up the “Item Detail” screen.  Click the “Who Has It” button to determine who has it checked out.  You can also click the “Patron Info” button from the “Who Has It” screen to access the customer’s contact information.
 

Tech Support Meeting Minutes for July 24, 2012

Submitted by admin on Fri, 07/27/2012 - 09:35

Kay Bauman discussed the original purpose of the Tech Support committee as a way to address staff and customer suggestions on our integrated library system (ILS). The committee was comprised to gain different perspectives of users at all levels. With upcoming changes to our technology philosophy and the process of moving to a new ILS, the committee will evolve. One impact is that no more modifications to the ILS System will be made since we will be moving to a different one.

As the ILS Task Force researches other integrated library system vendors, the Tech Support committee members will play some part in testing new ILS software and systems and provide perspectives on their use. There is no timeframe of involvement at this time.

Submitted by tgoggins on Wed, 10/19/2011 - 00:00

Karen Marriott and Janet Brooks from Material Selection and Jimmy Welch and Anne Fischer from IT gave a hands on demonstration of the new iWeed application using the iPad. iPads will be purchased for each location and pre-loaded with the iWeed application. This application will replace shelf management lists and inventory lists on green bar paper. Information about the items in each list will be updated daily. Items can be coded missing and withdrawn directly from the application and items can be added to the batch file for replacement. List can be emailed in an Excel format for additional work or to submit to supervisor or Material Selection. Janet will send email alerts. These lists will be due to Janet two months after the alert.

Denyvetta led a discussion of an article entitled ―Public Libraries are Doomed‖ that appeared in the September issue of Library Hotline. Denyvetta encouraged managers to discuss the importance of change and staying relevant with their staff.
