[OPLINLIST] OPLINLIST Outreach/Home Delivery Policy (Morgan Paul)

Wed Sep 20 14:20:41 EDT 2023
This is what our outreach policy on bed bugs contains:
- If bed bugs are known to have been at a residence, place those items
in a clear plastic bag. The material can be left at the site until the
Outreach Coordinator has time to discuss the situation with the Public
Services Supervisor and Director.
- Any Materials that come back to the library are placed in plastic
totes in the Delivery cars to inhibit spread.
- Upon returning from deliveries, open all bags and material on the
counter. You have a better chance of seeing anything on the countertop.
- Any materials that have bed bugs are set aside in a plastic bag and
‘cooked’ at Public Services to kill the bugs
- Deliveries to that patron are suspended until proof that their home
has been treated for bed bugs is provided
- Delivery Bags are washed on high heat and dried on high heat
- Any cloth that cannot be washed is doused in 90% isopropyl alcohol and
set outside to dry
- If bed bugs are found in the library the Director will take steps to
handle the situation.
At this point we only suspend deliveries to patrons who have confirmation
of bed bugs in their residence but we will monitor materials that return
from neighbors and wash those bags as well.
I hope this helps!

>
>
> ------------------------------
>
> Tomorrow at 4:00 p.m., the State Library of Ohio is launching a new
> website on the InnovateOhio Platform (IOP). Our homepage will remain
> https://library.ohio.gov and users will NOT experience downtime on the
> website during the transition. Although we understand it may take some time
> to adjust, we believe the new website will be easier to navigate with
> distinct paths for Ohio residents, libraries, and State of Ohio employees.
> As a result, links to programs and services within the website have changed
> and bookmarked links you have saved may no longer work. Information about
> friendly or shortened URLs is forthcoming. An outline of where to find what
> you need is included below.
>
>
>
> *What’s New*
>
> - The new site utilizes more imagery to aid navigation, is completely
> mobile responsive, and is ADA compliant.
> - A consolidated Contact Us form with a dropdown function enables
> users to easily select a topic for their question.
> - A small chat icon is visible on the lower right screen on all pages.
> When selected it opens a chat box to ask a reference question.
> - The catalog search box on the home page helps users refine their
> search by keyword, title, or author.
> - In addition to recent announcements, the *What’s New* section
> includes summaries of visits to Ohio libraries and books recently added to
> our library collections. Previous posts are available to view by selecting *All
> News*.
> - There is a clearer distinction between databases available to all
> Ohio residents via the Ohio Web Library and databases available to state
> government employees through OhioLINK and those we purchase. Descriptions
> of databases and links to guides and tutorials (if available) are now
> included.
> - Most documents (PDF, Word, Excel, etc.) link to Amazon S3 cloud
> storage.
>
>
>
> *Explore*
>
> - Get familiar with our new website before launch with this link to
> our test site: https://dx-authoring.myohio.gov/wps/portal/gov/lib/.
> An outline of the website is listed below.
> - Keep in mind, links to Amazon S3 cloud storage will not work until
> the website has launched.
>
>
>
> Our web development team has worked diligently for months on this project
> with one goal in mind, to provide you with the best customer experience.
> The team will continue working on navigation refinements, editing, and
> adding new information. I welcome your feedback on the new website after
> it has launched and beyond.
>
>
>
> Migrating our website to the IOP is an ongoing collaborative effort with
> InnovateOhio to support Governor DeWine’s initiative to create an
> integrated customer experience on one platform across all state agencies,
> boards, and commissions.
