Session M6 on Wednesday 9:00-10:00 in Franciscan C & D
Description:Canisius College was facing bottlenecks, backlogs, and inefficient use of staff time. These problems caused them to completely change the way cataloging and acquisitions were done by combining them. The NIH Library had not examined the overall efficiency of its procedures or how to take full advantage of III capabilities since the initial system implementation 17 years ago. A combination of circumstances including staff retirements, a new technical services team leader, and the challenge of assuming the technical services operations of a new branch prompted them to make changes. This session will describe how each of these libraries better utilized Millennium to improve its workflow and get its job done more efficiently.
