[OPLINTECH] Tracking memorials, honorariums, donations

[Tim Burns]

Dear Folks, 


This weeks project involves consolidating data, and streamlining the process by which we handle (usually monetary) donations. 


Our current protocol - 1.) donation received. 2.) 3rd floor spreadsheet is updated 3.) 3rd floor staff create an 'index card' which circulates to pertinent parties 4) pertinent party "selection" chooses an item inline with donors wishes 5) ordering department 6) acquisition department 7) catalogueing department 8) 1st floor spreadsheet is updated, book is plated and shelved 9) patrons ask to review donations/handle items/research donations 


Requirements: A single system that could handle the work of the two spreadsheets. Publicly searchable. I poked around SIRSI briefly, there is an un-indexed PUBLIC Tag field. Not sure that 3rd floor has "total access" to SIRSI, and/or if there are budgeting/funding fields available. 


Just wondering how other libraries are handling this.? 

(I do have some ideas, but am trying to NOT reinvent the wheel...)
