Does your circulation computer have FOLLETT REMOTE installed?

When the Internet isn't available :-( use Follett Remote to check books in and out to students. Check your circulation station computer to make sure it's installed. Check the C drive on a PC, Use Finder on a Mac. If Follett Remote isn't there, please contact lat@monroe2boces.org and we will install it for you :-).

Friday Fun? Snakes are NOT fun!

F.W. Hill Elementary School's Nicole Cringe and Librarian Cathy Mangan spent many hours moving, organizing and cataloging a bookroom this summer. 

It's a beauty - almost 15,000 books were added to Destiny. Here's one wall of books. 

The library was renovated with new carpet, too. That necessitated removing all library books so the shelving could be moved for the install. If you'd like to see more pictures, check out this library on twitter https://twitter.com/hilll_library

Courage? These 2 have it! 

Welcome to the 2015-2016 School Year!

The library will need to prepare for a new school year.

· Calendar

o   Set closed dates during the school year

o   Set ceiling date (date in June that ALL items need to be back in the library) for each patron group. Please remember that once that ceiling date passes, circulation reverts to regular parameters.

· Patrons

o   Merge any duplicated patrons

o   Set up email ‘supervisor’ for homerooms by going to Back Office>Site Configuration>Site Administration

o   Run and distribute overdues (Paper or email)

o   Learn how to handle book returns and lost book payments from ‘new- to- you’ students and faculty. Moving Up (Hint: Books and payments are sent to the previous library)

If your library has added subscription databases or received updated access information, One Search information needs to changed. Catalog>Search Setup>Enriched Content Searches. Click "One Search Database Information" and then Edit. You can review the databases that are configured in One Search. You can remove out-of-ate databases or add new subscriptions.

To help you with these tasks, video tutorials are linked here 

If you have any questions or need help, please contact the Library Automation Team.
