HomeMy WebLinkAboutOperational Report from ShariTo: Becky From: Shari Date: January 2, 2001 Re: December 2000 Operational Report Projects: 1. Acquisitions training. I had a two hour training session with Kelly on magazine acquisitions. I learned the process of noting that the magazine had been received in the acquisitions program and then adding each issue in the database. The training helped me understand the complete process from my putting the labels on each issue to the pages displaying each issue. 2. Rolodex file. I finished typing the new Rolodex cards and they have been placed in the Rolodex holder. The new cards include Ready Reference cards for people/places that are frequently called or referred to. 3. Children’s Program Counts. I have set up folders on the shared directory for the Children’s Program counts. Marsha is able to enter the counts as they happen and then we have a current count at all times. This should make it easier for monthly reports and end of the year reports. 4. Magazine Labels in Microsoft Word. I was able to figure out how to prepare the magazine labels with Microsoft Word. The process is somewhat more involved than it was with Corel but I have composed a sheet with instructions so that when it comes time to train someone else on the process, they should be able to follow the instructions quite easily. 5. Seasonal plan. We have added cross-training in January and February to my seasonal plan so that Jeanine and Kelly will be able to do some of my duties while I am on maternity leave. 6. On-line training. I was able to complete Level 1 of the Word training. I am looking forward to starting the next session. 7. Damaged book shelf. I took some time to weed through the damaged book shelf and was able to discard many titles that had been paid for and left here. All remaining titles have notes stating the date and the patron’s name and control number. 8. Entering new books into database. I spent several days entering new titles in the database while Jeanine was gone. I used some of the acquisitions training from Kelly and I also used Jeanine procedures manual. Misc. A. Magazines were labeled as needed (usually twice a week.) B. System maintenance/fire extinguisher maintenance was completed. C. The ILL drawer and file were updated. D. Bills and bill lists were completed as needed. E. The monthly report for October was verified. F. Monthly counts were updated in the computer files on a weekly basis to make it easier to do month end counts. G. Voice mail was completed for the various holidays.
