I-Team Discussion Notes 09/07/2006

All, Sorry for the delay but here is what we discussed at the last I-team meeting.

Lost Book and Longoverdue

We will be working on a policy for handling lost book refunds, setting a time limit and guidelines for the libraries

The $4 processing fee will remain and be applied to lost and long overdue books. While returning the book and checking it in the system will remove the bill from the patron’s account the processing fee will remain to be waived or not at the director’s discretion.

More to follow

A review of the questionnaire form the implementation grant shows a weakness in communication and need for further training

All emails from Vinny are documented on the system blog available on the web at http://systemthis.blogspot.com/

We should look to Sirsi for more consulting services as was done with the Demand Management and Hyperion workshops

We should look at more e-learning or web based learning opportunities

The Juvenile Profiles have been changed over and the profiles are working. Along that line it was decided that we add a profile for barred users that ties to the Internet Acceptable User policy. This would give the directors a means for handling patrons who are not abiding by the policy. We wil be discussing this further as well as how it works with SAM/Envisonware.
