Three important things today:
Ø As I hope you are
aware by now, our switch from III to Sirsi means that we must modify our
ordering process in TS3 accordingly. A couple of weeks ago Lin Swalley
distributed a new set of TS3 instructions for juvenile selectors. Here you will find attached a
version of those instructions specifically addressing adult ordering. [See links in right column under "How To". KL] Please
read the entire document and keep it handy as you get used to the new ordering
environment. While most of the steps are the same, take note of the changes and
please refresh your memory on the rest. The biggest changes are in the
grids and templates. There are now 2 columns on the grid to indicate an ordered
item’s location instead of 1. All of the old III-style templates have been
replaced by Sirsi-style templates. The new Sirsi “collection codes” are
numerous and will be somewhat cryptic until we get used to them so PLEASE
use the new templates to enter your orders, even if you’ve been doing it
manually or by dropdowns in the past.
Ø I have also attached
the “List of Lists” for FY14 adult selection so you have an idea of what’s
coming up and when. Clara Gomez will begin
distributing adult selection carts shortly. Managers - We know there have been
a lot of staff changes recently, so if there has been a change in adult ordering
responsibilities at your branch or in your group please email me ASAP. Budget for adult gap lists:
Until we have an approved budget and can make unit-specific allocations, please
use last year’s spending as a guideline for upcoming adult gap lists. Be on the
lookout for word about our annual materials budget meeting, which we hope to
have on the schedule soon.
Ø Chris Hu is always
looking for people to participate in our monthly adult preselection meetings and
new faces are welcome. If interested, discuss with your manager and contact
Chris (x1458) for more information.
Questions – please contact me or Clara (email is best).
