Before librarians and staff leave for the summer, there are a few library automation tasks to complete:
- Turn off any automated email notices going to staff, students or ILL patrons
- Holds & Reserves--Decide if you need to delete them or leave them active for the start of the next school year.
- Follow the procedures determined by your district on how to handle outstanding titles and fines for graduating students
- Please inform the if your library will be open and/or circulating during the summer. This allows us to schedule and perform maintenance without interrupting library operations.
- Some libraries need to submit reports with statistical information at the end of year. Here are a few common ones:
- To find the items deleted/weeded: Reports > Library Reports > Weeding Log. Select the date ranges needed; by month, school year, calendar year.
- Circulation statistics. Circulation > Library Information. Choose a date range.
- BEDS-type information: Reports > Library Reports > Statistics > Collection Statistics Summary
You can set up the library calendar for the next school year. Instructions and a tutorial are located on the Back to School Checklist.
