Board Report

Will push one more month as Brendon finishes up the forms required for stitching together a web-based report. We will be able to test run with some training and redo’s with next month’s report in time to forget everything for the September double report.

Reprise

We are looking to bring back / beef-up our loanable hotspot offering. We started off with several for loan we are down to a few. We were going to phase it, but the few units we have are in constant use and there did seem to be a need/want. We found a lower cost carrier that we could replace the units for significantly less than direct from T-Mobile so we are going to give it another go.

Cookies Update

The Joint Automation (JA) team and Clarivate have successfully updated the cookie functionality for our new library catalog website. We have tested this, and it is working for us, retaining the selections that our patrons choose while not interfering with the function of the site.

Copiers - Update

Our new copiers are in place and working well. They are very similar to the previous batch and work nearly identically to the old units. We added scan to email on the upstairs copier as another free benefit. While we already have free scanning, the device is old and uses a roller system exclusively and doesn’t work with ID’s or small papers very well. The new copier will allow patrons to use the flat bed or feeder to scan documents at no charge.

Respectfully,
Don and Brendon
