We will have a conversation with MD about photos.

SMS will e-mail RW about old dated files. 

Update:  MD is deleting fuzzy, unattractive, and unpicturesque photographs--that will save a lot of space--as she has time.  since we have more server space, the issue is not as pressing..

Susan asks department heads to thinks about plans for their departments (and later ask them to think about what benchmarks should be used) 9-18-07

Statistical sampling to be investigated; week of 6-28 will be collection dates.

 to be scheduled by Betsy and also need staff input for problem patron guideline update 2  (7/29/08)/discussion with LPD and Peak Wellness held; guideliness still need revision ad board review (10-26-08).

Board approved new code of conduct and staff trainined (May 2009).  Revised signs up?

Kathy will work with Nora on this.

Create tests for volunteers for specific areas (childrens, etc.)

LImit test items to 25, including misleading ones

Give mixed test if they have no specific area of interest

"Open Book" test, encourage to ask questions

Shelving tests should be checked asap, in under one hour

Ask County IT to look at the old public color printer to see if it is usable. We need a better color printer for staff. Kathy's printer is the only working color one and it's not always working well. Tara's printer doesn't work well in color or b/w. Because patrons don't always realize they have chosen to print in color and don't want to pay, we need to investigate something like the old vendaprint system.The current b/w public printer is not the best one for public use. The toner is expensive and quickly used up. Susan mentioned County IT's idea of having a service contract on printers. Tara has ordered a color printer/scanner/copier/fax for her desk. Josh had mentioned in the past that if patrons want to print in color that staff will save their document to a jump drive, then print from the color printer for them, so that they pay for their color copy. BJM emailed CountyIT 9/23/09 to switch the Brother printer with (Deb's area) the HP.
