Tips for circulation staff: Training bulletins for daily processing

As with every profession, library staff perform specific procedures on a daily basis. Since all Penn State libraries vary in size, staffing, and workload, it can be difficult to determine which daily procedures all circulation staff must perform. It is also difficult to gain quick access to instructions on performing these duties.

To assist staff, a Libraries Intranet (staff only) page has been created with links to training bulletins about daily processes. Topics include how to mark items used, how to process missing items, and how to process the daily clean hold shelf list report, among other daily duties.
