New Book Error

There are two books that were accidentally released early by LMS - please keep an eye out for these when doing delivery and processing new books.

In the HOLDS bins:

"Brotherhood in Death" by J.D. Robb




In the NEW BOOKS bins:

"Honky Tonk Samuari" by Joe R. Lansdale



These items are not supposed to be released until February 2.

When you see them, please do not check them in - ship them back to the LMS department, Attn: Christopher Patrick.

Meeting Notes January 20, 2016

• Sirsi - no more "super" - use your Sirsi log-in instead

• Fill grey bins up completely. Let's maximize space in the bins.

• Record all shelf reading and weeding in Google Docs (HEAR stats).

• Make sure to write "weeded _#_ shelves" or "shelf read _x_ shelves" in the comments field.

• Notify and email Chris and Jenny of any absences / request for time off

• Tape should not be used to hang information / posters / etc. in the library

• Use poster putty instead. Can be found in the supply room.

• Any posting on the blog must have manager approval.

• If you're on Self-Check or D last hour, do not log-off of Sirsi until all customers have left the building.

• If you're on the floor (desks, roving, passport office, etc.), please do not use your cell phone in public view. 

• Bluebonnet books - only "2016" and "2015" should be on the BB display. All others should be shelved as normal

• Questions? Comments?

Issues with Magazines

As a reminder:
- If a magazine comes up as "was not discharged" - it's probably checked out to the magazine account and should not be checked out to anyone.

- If a magazine comes up as "missing" - please bring it to me or set it on the metal cart by my desk if I'm not here. I've had to put a lot of magazines on the missing list lately for a variety of reasons, they need to be handled properly.

- If a magazine does NOT have a "C" next to the barcode label, it is our newest issue and should not be checked out to anyone. If there is any question about it, please feel free to bring it to me.

- If you ever have a question about a magazine or a subscription we do/don't have, please feel free to ask. If for some reason I'm not here, please email it or leave a note at my computer.

Thanks,
Crystal

Audiobooks with missing discs

As a reminder, if a patron returns an unabridged copy of an audiobook with missing discs, you do not need to charge them for the entire replacement - simply charge $7 per missing disc, and then send to LMS for replacement.

Also, if you have an item returned this way, please be sure to make a note on the account and include your initials. This helps prevent confusion when the patron returns in the future. Thank you.

Collection Maintenance Assignments

You will be responsible for the overall look and feel of your section. You will balance the shelves when they need it, manage overflow, make sure items are in order by shelf reading in that section, weed based on condition, send multiples to the back (2 on the shelf, anything else is overflow), and let Angela know when your section could use some shelving or shelf reading time so that she can schedule it.
