Bibliotheca Mobile DLA users - share your local processes?
by Joelle Hannert 03 Nov '20

03 Nov '20

Our library is preparing for our first inventory using bibliotheca's Mobile DLA wand. Outside of the bibliotheca-supplied documentation, I'm wondering if any other libraries have created local documentation of processes related to this device? It looks like there are many different ways to use the mobile DLA, and it'd be helpful to us to see how other libraries are approaching it, as well as any snags/issues you ran into using the device. Thanks so much for any advice you can share! -- Joelle Hannert Library Technical Services Coordinator Northwestern Michigan College (231) 995-1684 Work days: M, W, Th, F Currently Reading: [image: Lolly Willowes] <https://www.nyrb.com/products/lolly-willowes?variant=1094930105> [image: The English Mummers' Play The Folklore Society: Helm, Alex; Peacock,] <https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/theatre-research-international/arti…> <https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1124296.The_Beginning_And_The_End_And_O…>

A little advice
by T.A. Cutler Memorial Library 03 Nov '20

03 Nov '20

So...walked out of the office to discover two adult patrons sharing an armchair; one is literally sleeping in the other one's lap. Not entirely sure what if anything I can/should do about this. We don't have a policy against sleeping in the library, but these chairs are meant to be occupied by one person--not two full-size adults. And I also have some kids in the library--not entirely sure this falls under PDA, but it definitely raised my eyebrow. Any advice? I don't want to be rude or insensitive, but I also don't want the furniture damaged and potential liability if the chair collapse or break under them. Nor do I want pictures showing up on social media about "what I saw at the library." Thanks! Jessica T.A. Cutler Memorial Library 312 Michigan Ave. Saint Louis, Michigan 48880 (989) 681-5141
