Friday Fun 'Gotcha'

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

• Turn off any automated email notices going to staff or students.
• Holds & Reserves - Decide if you need to delete them or leave active for the start of the next school year.
• 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.
• Some libraries need to submit reports with statistical information at the end of year. Some common ones are listed below.

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.
Circulation statistics. Circulation>Library Information. Choose a date range.
BEDS’ type information: Reports>Library Reports>Statistics>Collection Statistics Summary

You can set up the library calendar for the upcoming school year if you'd like. Instructions and a tutorial are located on the "Back to School" help page.
