[OPLINTECH] Selecting a backup solution for my position

[Tim Burns]

In Fred’s question - two scenarios are posed.

1. out on vacation — this can be planned for. Training and notes about regular (scheduled and non-scheduled) tasks should be available, with the responsible party identified in the protocol.

2. unscheduled absence- with contact — many things go on hold, or are handled remotely.  For the exception that don’t work by these two solutions, see 2x.

2x. unscheduled absence - without contact (some form of termination, quit, die, fired, … or just a coma ) — so this one is a bit trickier? I suspect that an IT support person would be identified at another library, and contracted to help out, until the position is refilled or you return.

It might be worthwhile to develop something within our realm for just this purpose? Say- Fred gets hit by a bus, and the Auglaize Director needs help reformatting his Google Spreadsheet. It might be handy for him to just call OplinIT-R-us and get the first hour free, and every hour after $100.
