The browse by shelf number functionality in the staff catalog will be shared with others to obtain feedback.
Kay received feedback from the library managers and feelings were neutral towards the shelf number brows-ability and from this reaction, this function will not be added to the Staff Catalog.

Jimmy demonstrated a portable/wireless library card application entry system to have when a library employee is away from a library location having people fill out library card applications at school visits or other events. With this system, you can search by name to see if someone already has a card, if not, you ill in the information and have a scanner with the device to scan a new card and add it to the system. This could be useful during summer reading to use in house when circulation lines get long and gives the possibility to use it at other events away from the library.
