End of Year count down

Before librarians and staff leave for the summer, there are library automation tasks to complete.

• Turn off any automated email notices going to staff, students and ILL patrons.
• Holds & Reserves - Decide if you need to delete them or leave active for the start of the next school year.  
• Some libraries need to submit reports with statistical information at the end of year. Do you have what you need? If not, please contact us.
• Return any loaned barcode scanners to Library Automation at the CaTS building, BOCES 2
• Please inform the Library Automation Team if the library will be open and/or circulating during the summer. This allows maintenance to be scheduled when it will not interrupt library operations. If the library will be used for summer school, let us know. Thank you to the librarians that have already told us.   

FIFA Frenzy: The World Cup of everything else

Google doodles are entertaining - the eagle nests for the U.S.A. and Ghana game yesterday were cool. Here's the World Cup of Everything Else from the Wall Street Journal. Click on the link below the picture to explore the interactive website.

Which country has the most Starbucks and McDonalds per capita? The one with the highest obesity rate. WSJ missed something- no ranking for the most LIBRARIES per capita.

Library circulation statistics & Titles without copies

Here's a quick way to look at circulation stats in Destiny. It's called a snapshot. Library Reports>Statistics>Library Statistics. You can select options at the bottom to customize the report. Popular END OF YEAR Reports: 

• To find the items deleted/weeded: Reports>Library Reports> Weeding Log. Select the date ranges needed; by month, school year, calendar year.
• BEDS’ type information: Reports>Library Reports>Statistics>Collection Statistics Summary

If you'd like more information about End of Year Reports, please contact the Library Automation Team.

Schools will have a higher number of Titles without copies this year. The SLS provided eBook records were put in your Destiny catalog. They don't have copies.

Inventory hearts Chrome and Firefox and Safari

Inventory time!
Please do NOT use Internet Explorer when doing inventory. There are complaints posted on the Follett Listserv about Internet Explorer missing barcodes in Inventory. At this time, Follett tech support's response is to 'scan them twice'. This is unacceptable. We recommend using another browser when doing inventory.

• Keep an eye on the screen if you are scanning directly into inventory.
• Look at the list if you're scanning into Notepad.
• Listen for the beep from the scanner and from Destiny (the 'all's well' sound).
