News from Anne

Hi Everyone,

A few updates for you all:
  • preliminary results from the wage study came back this week.  Lin and I hope to hear about this tomorrow in our meeting with Barb.  More as I know it.
  • Space changes are happening at NS - the reference desk is now gone, self-checks have been moved to encourage higher rate of use.  The front desk will be "flipped" soon so that the low side (and staff!) face the doors.  It will be great to have the orientation changed up - better feng shui. The scan station will be moved to the high desk, so that patron assistance will be a breeze.
  • SI circular desk will be blended very soon to accommodate both Circ and ADS, moving us toward the "point of contact is point of service" concept.
  • Cathy Jensen officially began full-time at SW on Monday as Circulation Team Lead; Lin and I will be working with Cathy to streamline staffing models and to determine staffing needs.
  • Shannon has been out this week with a medical issue, and we hope to see her back in action very soon!  Get well, Shannon!
  • I will be out next Wednesday, returning the following Wednesday.  Jill and I are presenting at the WLA conference, as well as attending the conference.  I am taking an extended weekend as a mini-fall break.  If you'd like to touch base, please let's make a plan for the end of this week/beginning of next week.  I'll be hitting the road next Tuesday afternoon.
Anne
