System Library Account Naming

On December 3, there was an Intranet post to make staff aware we would standardize naming system library accounts. Only accounts with asterisks* are required.  The last name will state which library the item is going to, for example, @DN will go to Downtown and @SO will go to Southern Oaks.

As of February 11, all libraries have created their system accounts to follow these conventions.

First name = spelled out library name
Middle name = Library
Last name = @XX_

Annual Fee Members to Receive Letter about Increase

Submitted by mkellogg on Thu, 06/15/2017 - 17:11

Much preparation has taken place to ensure staff are prepared for the changes in policies and procedures to take effect July 1. Risa Sargent (DN), Anne Fischer (IT), Cheryl Mann (DN), and Kim Terry (MaC) worked on a letter notifying our annual fee accountholders about the upcoming increase from $40 to $70 per year. The letter, shared here, is informative to our members and also provides some talking points for staff to use when discussing the increase with members.
