Managers of Library Operations - November 2014

Submitted by jnormore on Thu, 01/15/2015 - 08:42

Open Discussion
Follow-up (from October Meeting) – Kay Bauman

Paperbacks
Kay shared information regarding paperbacks becoming reservable.  She indicated that the original intent of the uncataloged paperback was to have a browsing collection inside of the library and there were fewer funds available to purchase them.  Additionally, many were gifts.  Carl X was unable to accommodate the uncataloged paperbacks so we now do minimum cataloging, Karen calls them ‘minicats’.  Following the original intent of the collection they are not reservable.

Manager of Library Operations - June 2014

Submitted by jnormore on Thu, 09/18/2014 - 15:57

Anne distributed “Permissions for New ILS” sheet and a “Terminology Explanations” list for various roles.  She is working on a permissions book for the various role assignments.  The managers were asked to complete the “Permissions for New ILS” sheet by marking which box staff members should have access to and return the sheet to Anne as soon as possible.  If any other roles are needed the managers are encouraged to contact Anne and she will be happy to add another column.

Anne provided some some information on key differences between our new ILS and the existing system.
