Manager of Library Operations Meeting Minutes for September 2007

Submitted by tgoggins on Wed, 09/12/2007 - 00:00

Denyvetta asked the managers to share their thoughts on the new reserves system. Managers agreed the new system is going great.

Kay asked what the advantages are in using the new reserves system. One advantage for many managers is less time handling books.
Kay indicated that IT researched and tested many labels and occasionally, staff may find one label in the group that is bad.

Managers discussed where labels should be placed on videos. Kay suggested it would be helpful if everyone agreed to placing labels in the same location on videos, as if they were books. Managers agreed.

Manager of Library Operations Meeting Minutes for January 2006

Submitted by tgoggins on Wed, 01/18/2006 - 00:00

Bundling Reserve Items:
Email from Phil Tolbert at CH Library regarding bundling reserves on possibility of more training in bundling due to some system reserves being poorly bundled. Barbara showed examples of how bundled books have been bundled. It was asked if books are to be bundled by fours, as well as if there is a need for a refresher course in bundling. Books should be bundled with books and DVD’s with DVD’s etc.

Kay asked if there is an agreement to send emails regarding wrong bundling. Managers will communicate and be receptive. Tim suggested putting up postings and illustrations in the libraries regarding bundling. Denyvetta will follow up on Tim’s suggestion. System reserve processing involves many people. Kay stated that it may seem like a small thing to you but can make a huge difference in someone else’s job, like the delivery driver.

Refreshments at meetings:
The managers enjoy and appreciate the thought of refreshments and would like to continue. LaVetta feels refreshments bring good communication. Denyvetta asked about setting a limit on reimbursements. There use to be a general limit of $30.00. Kay suggested there may need to be guidelines set on refreshments. All agreed on a $50.00 limit on refreshments.

Manager of Library Operations Meeting Minutes for October 2004

Submitted by tgoggins on Tue, 07/27/2004 - 00:00

Denyvetta asked if the current retention rules were still working for everyone. The general feeling is "yes"

Joy of Subjects
People still use them occasionally, mainly when the computers are down. If they need to be updated, it will need to go into the budget for next year.

Shelving AV Fiction
In the last SRTF meeting Deb asked Jim if it would be possible to do a different sort on the audio part of the reserve list. His response was that it is possible, if everyone agrees on how the audios are shelved, such as the CDs, otherwise it would not be a help to everyone. It seems like the managers are fairly evenly split between the libraries that have CDs arranged by Genre or by Artist. The general opinion seems to be to arrange the reserve list alphabetically by genre, then alphabetically by artist for the ones not cataloged by genre.
