Door Count – 19,289
Anomalous statistic - Remote printing was at 625, 50% higher than the previous month. Although not our highest month at 845 in July, its rivals it because if memory serves I was moving the equipment and test printing many pages to ensure it was working properly.
Accessibility Updates
The training Brendon created after many hours of researching the 300 page federal bill and subsequent state adopted requirements, has mostly concluded. All of our content creators, anyone that may add to the digital landscape of library properties has had an introduction of what the law says, why its important from an accessibility standpoint and how we should navigate the options.
The laws start date was April 24th and though we won’t have all of our previously created items retrofitted in time, any of our new content, where easily done, should reflect the spirit of the law. We are continuing work on options and possibilities for the harder upgrades and previously created documents.
TODO List
- Cassie Print Issue – our color printer seems to lag upon someone sending a type or size print. We haven’t tracked down the reason or glitch yet.
- Web Camera – testing feasibility of adding rooftop webcam.
- Battery Backup Replacement – we had a large UPS fail. Took the opportunity while repairing that to organize and consolidate.
- Merge LibGuides Website Design – due to major update from vendor we took the opportunity to update LibGuides look similar to sspl.org. We had previously completed this with LibCal.
- Direct Testing Of Our Website – running simulated accessibility tests on various portions of the website ensuring and or correcting any issues discovered.
- Incident report – enhanced search, with new data refining the way staff can search for an incident.
- Print management investigation – Our services involve a lot of printing, and we want to ensure we are as efficient as possible. We are looking at print management software to help us with that.
- Selfcheck Repairs – a few of our selfchecks had plotted to disrupt service, we were stunned at their brazenness but quickly recovered and they were forced into compliance by the EmpireTM – Envisonware our vendor – but not before destroying what could have been several hours of my time better used. ?
Respectfully,
Don and Brendon
