Improved Procedures For AV Annex Alcove

Dear Everyone,

We are changing things in the AV Annex Alcove and they will be even better!

We will be processing the holds in The AV Annex Alcove.  The holds will be brought out to the new open hold area which is  a very short rolling distance away.

We will then process the "check ins".  However, and Kelly and Deb get all the credit for this, because it never occurred to me:  We will now have our bin stacks where the table was.  The plank will be moved from the back of the room to right near our monitor.  This means, you can take materials directly from the bin, scan them and voila!  No need to offload on to tables anymore.

People at the Rear Circ Desk will be able to focus on Excellent Customer Service and, of course, on putting all the to be shelved materials in order on the trucks.

Staff Ambassador Assignments  for next week are coming out soon!

Exciting.

The Annex Alcove is Awesome

Dear Everyone,

I can not thank Gary and Todd enough for their help in getting our Annex Alcove to where we want it to be.  We now have a really nice amount of room on our tables for materials.  And, we have some new procedures.

First and foremost, empty grey bins are now kept outside of the Annex Alcove so that we don't end up getting too crowded in there.

Next, we need to be sure not to put anything underneath the tables as there are cords and wires there and that would be UNSAFE.

When removing materials from the bins, you will do better if you make neat piles.  Then, you can shift the neat pile over to the scanner and scan scan scan.  (Please remember that New Non fiction is now heading to the second floor so once that is scanned in, it needs to go to a second floor truck).

getting more bang for your buck, neat piles

inspect and scan, simple as that
