E13-Circulation
ASSIGNMENT 2
| From Module 1, remember: Policies set general guidelines for the administration of the library and protect the board and staff. Keep in mind that once policies on these issues are set by the library board, library staff can develop procedures and make decisions within the realm of established policies. Procedures are specific directions, established by the staff, to implement the library policies. Certain procedures may change over time but with policy in place, the administration does not have to go to its board each time a change is made. |
You have been assigned to train a new staff member who has never worked
in a library before. Your assignment is to write circulation procedures
so that the new employee can have something to refer to while you are
training him/her. The following areas must be covered in your written
circulation procedures:
- materials check-out
- materials check-in
- renewals
- reserves
- overdues
As you work your way through each function, remember that you must be specific and you must be thorough. Please also be conscious of library terminology with which the trainee may not be familiar.
Submit this assignment to your tutor by the date given on the schedule accompanying this course and be sure to put your name on all pages. Please include any forms that you have used or have deemed appropriate for the training session.
