SIT Team Meeting Minutes June 1, 2017

SIT Team Meeting Minutes
June 1, 2017
  • Virtual Services
    • Hot spots
      • Saima needs testimonials from customers about the hot spot checkouts
      • All hot spot information can be found on the training portal
      • In the pilot phase, ending at the end of June, there is little promotion for the service
      • Mary suggested to put a card in the case to promote other programs and services
      • The title level hold is working well at Jungman for when they are all checked out
        • Each branch's hot spots has their own title level record
    • Online card registration
      • There will be a drop down for customer to choose their library
      • If the system does not work, putting in by hand with no form at this time
      • Cards created in mobile circulation are not being given full privileges
  • System-wide Orphan Books Log
    • Going to create something, possible in Office 365, to track all items turned in from other library systems.
      • Need to discuss with ILL to see if they have a system in place already
      • How long do we keep the items before we send to ILL?
      • Need to discuss with managers
  • QLess Update
    • Working well where piloted
    • Need to get the approval from communications to get the website rolled out and go live
    • Need to meet and discuss with passport locations to come up with some standards
    • Need to see about putting boxes for customer to check that they have all that they need
  • Online claims Returned Update
    • Dominick is piloting at Jungman
    • Once the claims returned item is put into WorkFlows, it takes one week for that record to be created; if you want to immediately claim it returned at multiple locations, you would have to enter it manually on the Intranet application
    • It also does not automatically put it off of the list that the application generates when you find the item; it removes it from the Workflows list, but we need to manually go in and deactivate from the other list
    • If we do not find the item, we would need to keep track of that somehow as well to deactivate it from the manual application list
  • Coding Apps for iPad
    • Jennifer discussed putting some apps for coding on our iPads
    • Mary will discuss with Robin Cabrera
    • Mary also brought up the possibility of using them with the Kindle Fires since they are cheaper
  • TechLogic Wand
    • Tested the wand at Stella Link
    • It talks directly with Workflows for the most up to date circulation information
    • The wand will change all items that have an RFID tag that is unlocked into a locked tag
    • The wand will search for all in transit items, in processing, missing, checked out, etc.
    • It will not check the items in on the spot
    • Patrick will work on some training for the device
