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 admin on Thu, 04/26/2012 - 09:08

Teresa brought her pin from when she was a teen volunteer in 1978. She decided to become a librarian when she volunteered as a teen.

Everybody was given a save the date card for the festival of books, this festival is held every 2 years. Each year they have different Children’s and YA authors. Everybody should try to attend.

Free comic book day May 5th. ODL has started to receive the books, and we will try to get them in our office this week and ready to route. Witchblade will be included in the comics, it is not an all ages comic. Set these aside and hand out to adults rather than to children.

You have posters for Summer programs. Everybody was given posters for each program whether it is at your library or not. Everybody was given extra copies of the posters for the programs that they will have at their library, feel free to post them in your community. Emily will be sending out the PDF files so you can email them and print extras on your own.

Replacement of defective AMPs (Playaways)

Janet mentioned that libraries have been reporting that some of the AMPs are defective. MLS is guaranteed free replacement indefinitely after purchase of these items. Janet asked what procedure libraries should follow when an AMP needs to be replaced.

The group discussed various issues involved and agreed on procedures as follows:
If a player is discovered to be defective within 5 months after purchase, the library will return the entire item (player and container) to TP. TP will order a replacement player, and return the item to the library when the replacement is received.

Breakfast and visiting

Emily called the meeting to order.
Updates

Thank you to Del City for letting us use the meeting space. Introductions.

Free comic book day: First Saturday in May. Outreach will get the comic books from ODL and route them to you. Make sure to have at least one staff member working that day that knows what's going on. Go to the free comic book website to see the list of comic books being offered this year. We try to get all ages books but please make sure to be careful not to let children get teen rated comics. Buck at New World Comics offered his services to Annie but sadly they won’t be open yet. If you want to set up a bigger program, you should call him. He might even have his staff dress up and hand out for the comics for you.

We have lots of March programs coming up. Teen Tech, After School at your Library, Hunger Games - We just got the Hunger Games cookbook and the sound track.

Materials Services Division Managers' Meeting Minutes for February 2012

Submitted by admin on Fri, 02/24/2012 - 12:44

Discussion with Donna about transfers - Karen
Karen said a decision will be made within the next few weeks. If the new long range plan includes opening of new “storefront” locations, this will be a major factor in the decision. Jones will probably not receive many transferred materials even when they move to their new building.

Review of gift guidelines with staff - Pauline
Pauline has met with the Cataloging Technicians and stressed that IS gifts are to be added to the collection only if they are in excellent condition, there are few available copies within the system, and the material matches an existing bib record. Mass marked paperbacks will be added to the cataloged collection only if the title has previously been cataloged in mass marked format, or if the addition is approved by a Materials Services Manager.
