Manager of Library Operations Meeting Minutes for December 2003

Tech Processing Presentation – Heidi Johnson from Technical Processing showed the managers a PowerPoint presentation on her department, its personnel, its mission, and a lot of details of how it accomplishes its challenging tasks. The workload handled on a daily basis can run from 50 to 100 boxes of books and other materials that all have to be processed and made available to our staff and customers. Last year, over 143,000 items flowed through Tech Processing and out to the branches. After the presentation, Heidi made several tongue-in-cheek awards to help highlight some of the problems of coordination that arise between TP and the libraries such as: labeling directly on items, creating numerous non-standard audio-visual labels, and not returning the new book boxes as soon as possible so that they are ready for more new arrivals. The managers thanked Heidi for her presentation and for all the good work her staff does every day.

Manager of Library Operations Meeting Minutes for September 2003

Linda Temple is an intern from OUSLIS -- she will be with us for several months, observing how things work in a Public Library system.
Minutes approved as corrected -- the accurate version is posted on the Intranet.

Reality Check
Kim Rickey, Lisa Walker, and Traci Jinkens, are this year's United Way committee chairs. Traci introduced Barbara Floyd, a representative from United Way. She discussed the 2003 fundraising campaign.
Some things to remember to tell others, when talking about United Way: a) 1 out of 3 people in Oklahoma will be touched by United Way. b) United Way functions as a Community Safety Net -- fulfilling needs in the community that would go unmet without their support.
Traci showed a brief video about some of the people United Way agencies have helped in Oklahoma.

Open Discussion
False Alarms - Don passed around copies of an e-mail he sent out in May ‘03 to remind everyone about the problems related to false alarms. In addition he passed out a letter from the OKC Police Department about excessive false alarms and the possible penalties, and an article from the City of OKC website announcing the starting date for false alarm enforcement. Don asked everyone to be very careful about making sure that all alarms are activated and deactivated appropriately.

Judy asked Don to discuss the issue of unauthorized entry before or after certain times -- Don explained that this is only for Downtown.
