Since your mail reader does not understand this format, some or all of this message may not be legible. ------_=_NextPart_001_01C38917.BCE65290 Content-Type: text/plain Several weeks ago I requested information from libraries that are considering or have implemented centralized selection plans for their collections. Many people emailed me to express interest in the responses I received...unfortunately, not so many emailed with their experiences. Those who did, however, were very detailed in their replies. Thank you to everyone who wrote! Meredith Southard Reference Librarian Worthington Libraries http://www.worthingtonlibraries.org Some responses: "We are currently feeling some resistance to centralized selection for the following reasons: Individuality of branches--how can a selector at one branch know what is really needed at another? Staff feels overworked, but reluctant to give up responsibility for that part of job. Staff doesn't want to feel out of touch with new titles/trends." "I think that management is pleased with the results of our decision to centralize selection. The primary downside was a fairly significant morale problem on the part of some of the reference/children's librarians who saw selection as an integral part of their professional duties. I still hear from some of the reference people that they are "constantly" making purchasing recommendations to the selectors to make up for the "important" titles that have been missed. The numbers do not support this perception, however. To the plus side, we are devoting many, many fewer staff hours to the selection process, meaning that more staff time is available for public service activities. Although our selectors were feeling a bit overwhelmed at first, moving to outsourcing selection has helped considerably. Our selectors now manage a process rather than picking materials title-by-title. Use of the two facilities as measured by circulation has increased by 30% over the past two years, so moving to centralized circulation does not seem to have hurt public service! I certainly feel comfortable with the decision that we made. I only wish that I could have better handled the change process so as to ease the blow to the public service staff who lost their selection responsibilities." "[We]converted to centralized selection complete with outsourced processing for non-fiction approximately 18 months ago. Prior to that we had a system much like yours. We had 2 goals: 1. Reduce the amount of staff time used in selection. 2. Decrease the amount of time it took between an ordering tool arriving in the library and the book actually going out on the floor for the customers. In both these areas we have been successful. We reduced the number of selectors for books from around 16 to 6 (4 for non-fiction, 2 for fiction.) We significantly reduced the time from ordering tool arriving in the library to book on shelf. It still does vary but we probably save approximately 2-4 weeks depending upon any backlog in technical services. We are still tweaking the system but basically it works like this: 4 non-fiction selectors review standard tools, meet each week for 4 hours and turn around ordering tools in 7 days or less. Orders are placed directly with Brodart and soon also with B&T. Materials arrive pre-processed at Main and in each of the 3 branches. 2 non-fiction selectors meet once every two weeks for 4 hours (or over the phone) and submit orders thru B&T. Fiction orders are not pre-processed, but our technical services department marks them "priority" and they are usually on the computer within 2 to 3 days. On the shelf within a week to 10 days. One problem we confronted with BIBZ (Brodart's online service) was that their "lists" were not online any faster than they were arriving snail mail. To circumvent this, our non-fiction selectors continue to use Ingram, Booklist, PW and a few other sources. They review the tools - (turnaround time 1 week) and make selections in Brodart using ISBNs. One of the biggest hurdles we anticipated never materialized. We presumed there would be a great deal of dissatisfaction by eliminating so many people from the selection process. It never happened. No one griped. Most were given other assignments. And all are given the opportunity to be "scouts" - e-mailing the selectors with ideas for purchase." "I am a firm believer in centralized selection. I had instituted at the Medina County District Library about 20 years ago, and it is still in effect. Two librarians select all of the materials for the whole system, spending close to a million dollars a year. The other staff members are responsible for public service. Also, there is a very good reporting system in place for staff to make suggestions. This way they don't have to hurry to read the journals.

"We are currently feeling = some resistance to centralized selection for the following reasons: = Individuality of branches--how can a selector at one branch know what = is really needed at another? Staff feels overworked, but reluctant to = give up responsibility for that part of job. Staff doesn't want to feel = out of touch with new titles/trends."

"I think that management = is pleased with the results of our decision to centralize selection. = The primary downside was a fairly significant morale problem on the = part of some of the reference/children's librarians who saw selection = as an integral part of their professional duties. I still hear from = some of the reference people that they are "constantly" = making purchasing recommendations to the selectors to make up for the = "important" titles that have been missed. The numbers do not = support this perception, however. To the plus side, we are devoting = many, many fewer staff hours to the selection process, meaning that = more staff time is available for public service activities. Although = our selectors were feeling a bit overwhelmed at first, moving to = outsourcing selection has helped considerably. Our selectors now manage = a process rather than picking materials title-by-title. Use of the two = facilities as measured by circulation has increased by 30% over the = past two years, so moving to centralized circulation does not seem to = have hurt public service!

I certainly feel = comfortable with the decision that we made. I only wish that I could = have better handled the change process so as to ease the blow to the = public service staff who lost their selection = responsibilities."

"[We]converted to = centralized selection complete with outsourced processing for = non-fiction approximately 18 months ago. Prior to that we had a system = much like yours.

We had 2 = goals:

1. Reduce the amount of = staff time used in selection.

2. Decrease the amount of = time it took between an ordering tool

arriving in the library = and the book actually going out on the floor

for the = customers.

In both these areas we = have been successful. We reduced the number of

selectors for books from = around 16 to 6 (4 for non-fiction, 2 for

fiction.) We = significantly reduced the time from ordering tool

arriving in the library = to book on shelf. It still does vary but we

probably save = approximately 2-4 weeks depending upon any backlog in

technical = services.

We are still tweaking the = system but basically it works like this: 4

non-fiction selectors = review standard tools, meet each week for 4

hours and turn around = ordering tools in 7 days or less. Orders are

placed directly with = Brodart and soon also with B&T. Materials arrive

pre-processed at Main and = in each of the 3 branches. 2 non-fiction

selectors meet once every = two weeks for 4 hours (or over the

phone) and submit orders = thru B&T. Fiction orders are not

pre-processed, but our = technical services department marks them

"priority" and = they are usually on the computer within 2 to 3 days.

On the shelf within a = week to 10 days.

One problem we confronted = with BIBZ (Brodart's online service) was

that their = "lists" were not online any faster than they were arriving =

snail mail. To = circumvent this, our non-fiction selectors continue to

use Ingram, Booklist, PW = and a few other sources. They review the

tools - (turnaround time = 1 week) and make selections in Brodart using ISBNs.

One of the biggest = hurdles we anticipated never materialized. We

presumed there would be a = great deal of dissatisfaction by eliminating

so many people from the = selection process. It never happened. No one

griped. Most were given = other assignments. And all are given the

opportunity to be = "scouts" - e-mailing the selectors with ideas for

purchase."

"I am a firm believer in = centralized selection. I had instituted at the Medina County = District Library about 20 years ago, and it is still in effect. = Two librarians select all of the materials for the whole system, = spending close to a million dollars a year. The other staff = members are responsible for public service. Also, there is a very = good reporting system in place for staff to make suggestions. = This way they don't have to hurry to read the = journals. "

What does your library and staff say consciously (or possibly unconsciously) about your library? In this workshop, we will take a closer look at what is being said, use of terminology, training programs, behavioral expectations, telephone standards and other interactions that circulation staff have with patrons. Part of the twist is expanding into the retail world, bookstores in particular, and discussing some of the tools that have been successful there. We will also touch on some of the visual elements that affect patron interaction and respond to the competition with bookstores. Also included will be a "best practices" type of discussion with group contributions of ideas or suggestions. Michael Crupmton was a store manager for Barnes & Noble in Atlanta, and Director of Training for Wallace's College Bookstores.

GCLC Office (Directions to GCLC)
How does your library communicate with patrons? What does your library and staff say consciously (or possibly unconsciously) about your library? In this workshop, we will take a closer look at what is being said, use of terminology, training programs, behavioral expectations, telephone standards and other interactions that circulation staff have with patrons. Part of the twist is expanding into the retail world, bookstores in particular, and discussing some of the tools that have been successful there. We will also touch on some of the visual elements that affect patron interaction and respond to the competition with bookstores. Also included will be a "best practices" type of discussion with group contributions of ideas or suggestions.

Location: Ohio Valley Area Libraries (OVAL), 252 West Thirteenth Street, Wellston, Ohio { MAP: www.oval.lib.oh.us/find/ }. People are the most valuable of your enterprise's resources and are also the most expensive and difficult to manage. Unlike machines, paperwork and other tools needed to get the job done, they are people. They have feelings and lives outside of the workplace. In spite of their broad differences and feelings, they must work together like a well-oiled machine. As you become a part of management, you will hear the words "do more with less" quite often. You may have to make decisions that affect the quality of life of your associates such as changing work start times, days of the week, reductions and increases in the number of hours required to get the job done in the most efficient manner. In addition to this, there are many laws that guide and sometimes restrict the manner in which you manage your Human Resources. Day one of this class will guide participants through the more technical issues involving management of their human assets. Day One Topics Covered: ---Staffing - not enough people vs. too many vs. just right ---Coverage ---Budgeting ---Day two of this class will cover employment laws and the agencies that enforce them. This section will involve several case studies of potential violations and require participants to help develop solutions to assure compliance with Federal and State regulations. Day Two Topics Covered: ---Non-discrimination in hiring, promotions, termination ---Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 ---ADA - Americans with Disabilities Act ---Wage and hour laws About Our Presenter: Jim Hudson is the founder of J.A. Hudson & Associates, a consulting firm specializing in Human Resources, Labor Relations and Supply Chain Strategies located in Milford, Ohio. He has twenty plus years of hands-on experience in labor relations including negotiations, contract administration, mediation and arbitration. His experience spans several industries including coal mining, food distribution, textile, air compressor and automotive transmission manufacturing in both tough Union and non-union environments.

This year’s conference theme addresses new situations and demands that are forcing libraries today to rethink their role and transform their practices. Programs will be offered by colleagues who have risen to the challenges of diminishing resources and
escalating costs while continuing to provide vital services using information, innovation and inspiration. In all, over 25 programs and thirteen poster sessions will be presented.
In addition, interest group business meetings will be held along with a discussion session with our keynote speaker.

Speaker:
Sally Gardner Reed, Executive Director for Friends of Libraries, U.S.A. (FOLUSA), will be the keynote speaker. She will address the importance of defining and connecting with "community" to raise awareness about the importance of the library in academe and to raise financial and political support for the library.

Ms. Reed is the author of numerous articles and books including Making the Case for Your Library and A Handbook for Successful Management. She has published on a variety of topics including library assessment, volunteers, librarianship, collection development, management and marketing.

Her current and past professional affiliations include ALA, Virginia Library Association, Iowa Library Association, New England Library Association, Vermont Library Association, and Bibliographic Center for Research and Research Publications, Inc.

Perhaps your patron, if not too far away, could make a roadtrip to Cleveland. I would first recommend he/she call them to confirm that it contains woodworking designs.

Every family, library, archive, museum, genealogical and historical society has treasures in its collection. Many of these treasures came from senior citizens in the community who kept their personal treasures�photos, school mementos, and family obituaries�in a shoebox. The Digital Shoebox brings these historical treasures together in a searchable online scrapbook. It will be a gateway to primary source materials relating to the rich history and culture of southeastern Ohio�the �start of it all.� This is a perfect opportunity for the general public to participate in an Ohio Bicentennial project. There are currently 2,971 images available for viewing at www.digitalshoebox.org. The images are searchable by library, title, subject or keyword. Most images were digitized by JJT, Inc. Others were scanned locally using Content DM Digital Collection Management Software. Images include familyphotos of George Armstrong Custer, Cab Calloway, civil war artifacts and reinactments, industries, baseball teams, church gatherings, meat wagons, trains, covered bridges and floods. This project has been made possible through a grant, with ten libraries providing additional local funding. Participating libraries are: Newark Public Library, Kate Love Simpson-Morgan County Library, Martins Ferry Public Library, Perry County District Library, Public Library of Steubenville and Jefferson County, Monroe County District Library, Puskarich Public Library, Muskingum County Library System, St.Clairsville Public Library, and Washington County Public Library.

By now, many library staff members have a better idea whether they will be able to attend the OLC Annual Conference, up here in the great city of Cleveland, Ohio! If you know you are going for a day or two or three, why not consider helping out as a volunteer? It's a fun way to meet new people, network, and help out your library organization at the same time! We need volunteers to collect evaluations (and give out chocolate -- guaranteed to make you popular!), to help at the registration desk (helping folks get checked in), or to help at the hospitality desk (helps folks get around Cleveland by recommending and giving directions to restaurants and local sites -- sort of a "conference concierge"). If you think you can spare a little time during the conference, please consider helping us out. If you are interested in doing evaluations, please contact me,Kym Lucas, at: kym.lucas@medina.lib.oh.us. If you're interested in helping out with the hospitality desk, please email Jim McPeak at: jmcpeak@cuyahoga.lib.oh.us If you're interested in helping with registration, email Kris Gill at: xenagill@aol.com.

Someone else asked if the problem is really not enough terminals. Generally we don't turn people away, except after school when the kids play games. Speaking of which, I just had another patron complain at the desk he thinks it is a waste of taxpayer money to allow people to play games on public terminals. He refused to be seated next to someone (both are adults, by the way) who was playing. Since I have four empty terminals right now, I accomodated him. What's a librarian to do? Sometimes I feel like I'm home refereeing the kids. But the business thing - what is your policy?

The policy about "for personal gain" is the OPLIN policy on use by library staff. The issues surrounding use by the public are more complex, and always a matter for local policy. As Jim Mann pointed out, a huge variety of activities can be carried out on the Web using a standard browser that in no way violates most libraries' policies, and causes no harm to the shared resources of the network.

At the recent OLC Leadership Conference, our group was tossing around ideas for the 2004 Annual Conference. I know, I know, the 2003 conference hasn't even happened yet, but we still have to start thinking about what we'd like to offer for 2004. First of all, let me apologize for the length of this email. I usually try to keep things a bit more brief or send them as an attachment. I am interested in putting together a talk table about internal training, particularly as it applies to the reference desk. In the current economic climate, I'm thinking that more libraries may be looking within for training and we'd like to offer some ideas on what has and hasn't worked in libraries that already do it. We do some internal training here in Medina County and Pat Carterette of Cleveland Heights-University Heights has graciously agreed to be a part (should the program be accepted) of the discussion as well. But, our systems are quite similar in size and location. I would like to try to get some input from other libraries of other sizes, in other parts of the state, that may be doing internal training. Some of you I spoke with at Leadership. Some of you had your names mentioned by others as possible contacts. For those of you who work within libraries, could you please think about what you may be doing internally to train reference staff and let me know if you are interested in possibly participating in this type of talk table? For those of you who are employed by a library consortium, could you think about what you might be able to contribute? Or if any of you know of other library staff who are doing internal training and might be willing to help, I'd welcome suggestions. Thank you for your time and consideration of this matter. I realize it's a long way off, but we do need to at least start to formulate the programs for next year. And (putting on my other OLC hat now), if any of you are interested in volunteering to help at this year's OLC conference, we need help with collecting evaluations, registering people and manning the hospitality desk. We'd love to have your help! Thanks again.

The Rutherford B. Hayes Presidential Library is applying for an LSTA grant to expand its regional index obituaries in Northwest and North Central Ohio. Currently 16 public libraries are entering their obituary data into the web site - remotely, from their libraries' computers. NORWELD (Northwest Ohio Library District) has recently sponsored 12 of those libraries, making this a more regional collaboration than previously. The web site earned an award in September for Technology Excellence from the New England Historic Genealogical Society and gets over 400,000 hits a MONTH! It is a great way to help genealogists and local historians find the people they are searching for, bringing new researchers into your libraries and helping people in other parts of the country find what you have. Many libraries have existing card files of obituary indexes they would like to computerize and put online or they would like to start indexing their current newspapers. Why re-invent the wheel when you could simply tap into our regional index. The grant will pay 75% of the one-time fee charged for new libraries to add to the database ($1500) and for one year's subscription fee ($200). The participating library's share would be $425. After the first year, your library would have to commit to paying the $200 annual subscription fee to maintain the service. The initial fee will allow the libraries to use the Hayes-designed software, pay for the time it takes the Hayes staff to set up a library's newspapers in the system and for the training of each library's staff. The ongoing fee of $200 per year will help defray Hayes staff costs and web storage. Each library will be able to add their obituary information into the online database which is free for everyone on the web. If your library is interested, contact Becky Hill (bhill@rbhayes.org) for further information. The application for the grant is due by Nov.12, 2003, so time is of the essence. If approved, it would go into effect April 2004. We are currently collecting names of libraries in Northwest and North Central Ohio which would like to be considered for this partnership and we will need to include Letters of Support from each participating library.

Do you: Pay: a) pay standard rate? b) pay time 1/2? c) pay double time? d) other Schedules: a) have public services staffed with people who only work Sundays (and maybe some other days)? b) have public services staffed with full or part-time hourly people who take time off during the week to accommodate their Sunday hours? c) have some sort of "weekend rotation" with Saturday and Sunday as a set? d) other?

Dr. Greg Byerly and Dr.=20 Carolyn S. Brodie are recipients of the grant award. The grant, =93New Librarians, New Leaders: Educating the Next Generation=20 of School Library Media Specialists and Young Adult Librarians,=94 will=20 provide for the recruitment and education of sixteen graduate library=20 school students. Eight students seeking to become school library media=20 specialists and eight students interested in becoming young adult=20 librarians in public libraries will become part of a special youth=20 services cohort as a part of this project. =20 Students will receive full tuition scholarships and will be able to=20 complete their degree either at Kent, Columbus, or at one of three=20 external sites in Ohio over a 2 1/2 year period beginning next fall. =20 Students will also participate in state professional organizations and=20 conferences and will attend one national conference. One unique aspect of this project is the creation of a cohort of youth=20 services librarians who will be trained to work with their counterpart,=20 whether in the school or public library. Another unique aspect of this=20 project is the development of these individuals as leaders in=20 librarianship and collaboration. Since this project has a statewide=20 scope, instead of educating librarians for a specific library or=20 community, the impact will be broad and benefit a large number of=20 libraries and library patrons in Ohio. =09=20 Four state library entities will partner with the School in this=20 project: The State Library of Ohio, INFOhio, the Ohio Library Council,=20 and the Ohio Educational Library Media Association (OELMA). These=20 partners will work with the School to implement a multi-faceted=20 approach to recruit potential students and then inculcate them into the=20 library profession. Recruitment will be statewide and will give=20 special attention to minorities and those interested in serving in=20 disadvantaged areas. =20 Further information about the program will be announced in early 2004=20 and will be posted on the School=92s web site (www.slis.kent.edu).

Sanjay Koyani, senior usability engineer for HHS, said the goal is to help government, academic, commercial and other entities create websites that are based on user research and not personal opinions. The guidelines cover such issues as accessibility, home page design, site navigation, writing, graphics and content organization. The HHS guidelines, Koyani said, should pay off for agencies that need to post information quickly. "We've listed all the guidelines in rank of importance," he explained. "You can look at those and focus on what is important." The guidelines are timely, as governments experience growing demands from the public for answers to questions and increasing pressure to hold down overhead costs.

Right now we are trying to partner with libraries in Northwest and North Central Ohio. Thanks Becky Hill Would you like to be part of an award-winning online obituary database? The Rutherford B. Hayes Presidential Library is applying for an LSTA grant to expand its regional index obituaries in Northwest and North Central Ohio. Currently 16 public libraries are entering their obituary data into the web site - remotely, from their libraries' computers. NORWELD (Northwest Ohio Library District) has recently sponsored 12 of those libraries, making this a more regional collaboration than previously. The web site earned an award in September for Technology Excellence from the New England Historic Genealogical Society and gets over 400,000 hits a MONTH! It is a great way to help genealogists and local historians find the people they are searching for, bringing new researchers into your libraries and helping people in other parts of the country find what you have. Many libraries have existing card files of obituary indexes they would like to computerize and put online or they would like to start indexing their current newspapers. Why re-invent the wheel when you could simply tap into our regional index. The grant will pay 75% of the one-time fee charged for new libraries to add to the database ($1500) and for one year's subscription fee ($200). The participating library's share would be $425. After the first year, your library would have to commit to paying the $200 annual subscription fee to maintain the service. The initial fee will allow the libraries to use the Hayes-designed software, pay for the time it takes the Hayes staff to set up a library's newspapers in the system and for the training of each library's staff. The ongoing fee of $200 per year will help defray Hayes staff costs and web storage. Each library will be able to add their obituary information into the online database which is free for everyone on the web. If your library is interested, contact Becky Hill (bhill@rbhayes.org) for further information. The application for the grant is due by Nov.12, 2003, so time is of the essence. If approved, it would go into effect April 2004. We are currently collecting names of libraries in Northwest and North Central Ohio which would like to be considered for this partnership and we will need to include Letters of Support from each participating library. -- Rebecca Hill Co-Head Librarian Hayes Presidential Center Spiegel Grove Fremont, OH 43420 e-mail: bhill@rbhayes.org phone: 419-332-2081, ext. 31 fax: 419-332-4952
