So we can all be on the same page(s)
June 19, 2013
Hello! It is hard for us to keep everything straight even when everyone is here. That is magnified in the summertime when we are all in and out at crazy times. This has been an issue each and every year, and this is my newest attempt in addressing it.
When We Are Here
Be sure to mark the calendar at the desk AND also update the vacation calendar on Outlook. It helps to make sure that someone will be here.
- Beth will be gone all of July.
- We are open some odd evening hours for masters program students. Carol B. has all of these covered.
What We Are Doing
- The DVDs are in process.
- Carol S. is upgrading ILLiad and sorting through the maze of electronic journal issues.
- Gift books keep coming........
- Literati is new - be sure to take some time to play with this and be familiar with it.
- Carol B. is getting all of the new students into the system.
- Shelf reading is moving right along -- we are upstairs!
- Inventory is also progressing: Ready to start the 300s by this afternoon!
- We have a new YouTube Channel for some fun new ways to connect with students and get word out about how awesome we are.
- Paula is working on assessment and getting ready to work with the new Dean and School Director. Even though we already know Boyd and Melody, it is important to make sure that they realize all of the things we do -- sometimes we make it all look TOO easy!
- Brett is working with an intern this summer, getting ready to write a book, and getting Jen started on working with Pages In Time.
- There are a TON of other things happening, but this newsletter is just not long enough.
- THANK YOU FOR ALL OF IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Coming Soon to a Library Near You
- There is a very large class of incoming freshmen this year. Get ready!!!
- Beth and Paula are working on a packet of information to personally deliver to faculty and administrators to be sure that they understand Information Literacy and will give it the institutional attention it should have.
- Let's really try and get all the way through the shelf reading and inventory this year. And weeding may not be far behind. Maybe next year. :-)
- More newsletters like this.....and please let me know what else you suggest as far as content. And if you like the format. It is a pretty great (and free) program to use! :-) Free is my favorite price.
