Cost of Shelf Ready Materials - All

  • Tim wants to get a better sense of what our actual costs are to assess, select, acquire, receive, catalog, process, and otherwise make our variety of materials shelf ready.  
  • He would like to know the average cost to make every content type ready to use by a customer.  In addition to cost, it would be good to be aware of the time involved to make each content type ready-to-use from receipt through shelf availability.

Submitted by ewilliams on Tue, 03/11/2014 - 16:11

Janet encouraged everyone to do more displays in their libraries and to share their great displays via MyMetrolibrary so others can enjoy and learn from the displays. She encouraged everyone to try to make displays that use more than one genre of books.
Janet discussed a really cool book display at CH where they did book spine poetry and encouraged the customers to add and change the poems that were created.
There is a free weeding tips webinar March 25 at 1:00 pm. This webinar could be a useful tool to use.
