00:00:40 Gary Smith: I noticed it! 00:01:04 Artie Berns: Crème Brulee? 00:01:07 Andi Molinet: maybe its her hobby 00:01:08 Karen Scoville: Creme brûlée? 00:01:14 Karen Scoville: lolol 00:01:16 Melissa Fayad: LOL 00:01:23 Artie Berns: Large Crème Brulee? 00:01:24 Mary Ellen Lomax-Bellare: a giant a real torch 00:01:25 Melissa Fayad: large family maybe? 00:01:34 Jackie Magagnosc: Welding as a side gig? 00:02:10 Melissa Fayad: I wish virtual backgrounds looked more real 00:02:22 Colleen Hanna: HI Raquel How proud are you of Nicole-Colleen 00:05:16 Melissa Fayad: I am going to blank myself out so I can listen and no one will see me eat a sandwich 00:13:34 Patricia Sayre-McCoy: If staff took their set-up home, was there assistance setting it up in the home? 00:15:28 Andi Molinet: Most of our staff had university issued laptops; we bought all the FT staff headsets and 2nd monitors. 00:15:40 Evelyn Hurley: There was for us; our IT prepared the laptops and showed us how to log in. It's basically our virtual desktop, so we use it the same way as our work PC. We provide the internet access 00:15:57 Karen Scoville: I do miss my second monitor so much! 00:16:16 Leslie Cunningham: I do too! 00:16:54 Oi Ling Yu: Yes, 2nd monitor makes the work much easier. 00:17:38 Ellen McGrath: Do you treat or quarantine the physical materials in any way to cut down on the possibility of transmitting any virus on them to your home? 00:18:10 Susan Zago: some staff took their whole set ups home (some themselves) and others had help from IT. others had laptops and didn't take their monitors. 00:18:27 Anna Lawless-Collins: We've been setting them aside for a period of time before checking them in, then setting them aside again before Circ takes them for filing 00:20:00 Alexis Zirpoli: We're not even allowed to go into fetch mail. We have a MOUNTAIN of mail awaiting opening. 00:20:41 Karen Scoville: Us too. I shudder to think how many days it’s going to take just to open it all, much less process it 00:20:49 Paul Zarowny: We are locked out of the building. All the mail is piling up. 00:21:03 Cecilia Feltis: We have a staff member going in once per week to collect mail. Processing is on hold and piling up. 00:21:12 Mary Ellen Lomax-Bellare: We are locked out our building 00:22:08 Jackie Magagnosc: Staff contacted vendors to get them to stop sending things and the mail that is arriving is being held somewhere off campus until we come back. 00:22:17 Cecilia Feltis: I emailed all vendors requesting only digital copies, and personally spent $100 for a small scanner... 00:22:38 Ellen McGrath: Are you shelving and delivering physical materials to users? 00:22:38 Patricia Sayre-McCoy: We can't get into the building either, but may be able to get access by request in special instances. We managed to have some shipments held at the vendor or canceled so the boxes may not be overwhelming. All our reserves are electronic. 00:23:06 Melissa Fayad: I have the issue that while I can pay invoices, some places are in a position where they cannot accept payments. 00:23:50 Alicia Pearson: We were able to enter the building with special permission. That has allowed staff to keep the build up manageable. Plus we suspended all the print that we could. 00:23:51 Judy Dowling: If you need a scanner, I've been using Adobe Scan, which is a free app on my phone. 00:24:28 Anna Lawless-Collins: We're shelving where we can but we're closed to patrons; we'll scan materials to send to them, but only sending physical materials by patron request, not as a matter of course 00:24:48 Patricia Sayre-McCoy: We have a new statistics program that one of our catalogers created a program thatcounts various types of cataloging and takes item counts from our ILS. He created it in the fall and it was very timely! 00:25:24 Nancy Minton: do you quarantine new arriving mail? 00:26:52 Grace Collins: School and library closed since March 16th. Suspended shipments. Vendors have been providing pdfs of invoices. Using Adobe Acrobat to mark up invoices. Staff have VPN setup at home computers. Starting to set up direct delivery of monographs from a vendor to faculty. 00:28:16 Courtney Selby: We have Sierra and had to set up remote desktop access to our PCs in the office. Our instance of Sierra is now on the AWS and the firewall is too strong to allow us access even when we are on the VPN. Just FYI if this is happening to anyone else. 00:29:42 Paul Zarowny: We use LogMeIn to work on Sierra on our office PCs. 00:30:29 Joseph Dineen: we use citrix which allows us into the firm environment. We don't have access to everything but it has worked so far 00:30:32 Patricia Sayre-McCoy: I am able to catalog electronic resources but the books are unavailable. 00:32:05 Karen Scoville: One fortunate aspect of Alma right now is that it’s web-based, so I can at least do some records cleanup. I had been able to remote into my library PC for the first couple of weeks, but the latest OS update seems to have broken it. 00:33:28 Karen Scoville: We had about 6 hour’s notice about our closure, so I frantically copied as many of my project documents as possible to my Google drive for access. I’m glad I was paranoid. 00:34:48 Cindy Cummings: Could you repeat what you are using Raquel? 00:35:34 Susan Zago: love Teams. you can create different channels for projects and such 00:35:36 Cindy Cummings: Thanks! 00:36:07 Cynthia Bassett: Can the person with the firewall use Sierra Web? 00:37:03 Courtney Selby: Hey! We can use Sierra web, but we prefer to work in the complete desktop applicaiton 00:37:06 Raquel Ortiz: if I may speak before I go. 00:37:58 Andi Molinet: What is Jawsome? 00:39:34 Melissa Fayad: I prefer the Sierra desktop as well. 00:40:56 Pearl McCrea (she/her): For the libraries that are still allowing swipe access for students how does the library/school know if they’re practicing social distancing? Is a staff member there to supervise as they use the space? This has been a conversation we’re having as students do NOT have access at this time. 00:41:05 justine: Our IT team prepared us for remote work with mandatory online security training and a trial run the week before the stay at home order 00:41:51 Patricia Sayre-McCoy: Justine, that was good to have a dry run. We didn't have an organized plan and so missed some things like very old laptops that couldn't do everything we thought they could. 00:42:01 Courtney Selby: Has anyone tried an 856 field clean-up project? III wants $5,000 and a 5 year commitment to let us use the URL checker (and the package it comes with), so that's a non-starter. However, I'd love to do some URL review if someone has ideas for another method? 00:46:54 Nancy Minton: what professional development trainings are you suggesting? 00:47:27 Elaine Bradshaw: We’re doing some of the AALLtoGo recorded conference presentations/webinars. 00:47:52 Patricia Sayre-McCoy: My professional development includes MARC Edit videos--Terry has a number of them he made. Also anything on slack or Teams 00:48:05 Courtney Selby: Thanks! Or you can touch base via email selbyc@stjohns.edu if you have ideas for the URL project method. 00:48:24 Andi Molinet: I like the MARCedit tutorial idea! Thanks, Pat 00:48:59 Beck Schaefer: ALCTS has a YouTube channel with lots of good webinars 00:49:06 Jackie Magagnosc: Terry Reese has doing weekly MARCEdit webinars live, then putting the recordings on his YouTube channel 00:49:19 Elaine Bradshaw: Great idea—thanks. 00:49:20 jeff Gabel: We are doing a URL checker project. A report of problematic URLs in our Koha system runs periodically. ByWaterSolutions support had that set up for us. 00:49:26 ALan Keely: Terry Reese has bunches of MarcEdit videos in YouTube. Just search MARCedit. 00:49:55 Courtney Selby: thanks! 00:50:11 Ellen McGrath: The ALCTS Exchange is next week https://exchange2020.learningtimesevents.org/ 00:51:11 Andi Molinet: Anyone finding that their workload has exploded since moving offsite? 00:51:24 Caroline Walters: Yes Andi! 00:51:24 Pearl McCrea (she/her): I’m in Seattle-still no 00:51:25 ALan Keely: What is everyone doing about staff mental health? 00:51:26 Cynthia Bassett: We expect to be back in the building starting in summer. 00:51:38 Cynthia Bassett: Yes on exploding work. I’ve never worked harder. 00:51:41 Courtney Selby: we're in NYC. No one is going in any time soon. 00:51:57 Josh LaPorte: How are people managing queueing up of loose-leaf releases? 00:52:01 Nancy Minton: have you developed formal reopening plans? 00:52:03 Ellen McGrath: Our University's HR gives weekly Tuesday meditation. 00:52:09 Elaine Bradshaw: Not planning on going back yet, but we’re starting to talk about rotations so that only one person is “in house” per department. 00:52:25 Karen Scoville: I’m not sure what Arizona is going to do (probably early opening) but I think that the University will be making their own separate decisions about return to work 00:52:29 Patricia Sayre-McCoy: People doing physical materials at home--are you adding call number labels or other labels? How are you creating them? 00:52:41 Melissa Fayad: We are just waiting to get back to start filing the looseleafs 00:52:49 Josh LaPorte: I lead weekly meditation sessions for students, faculty, and staff 00:53:26 Pearl McCrea (she/her): We’re doing a lot of back end maintenance and lots of meetings and all print materials are waiting for us to process upon return. We’ve cancelled a lot of materials in the past few years so there’s a pretty small amount of stuff waiting for us ~1 cart of LMA items and a few GOBI shipments. 00:53:28 Courtney Selby: We have weekly staff meetings that are pretty laid-back and include both work and how we're doing in the rest of our lives. 00:53:43 Paul Zarowny: Our Dean formed a committee to develop reopening plans. Our Law Library Director is on the committee. 00:53:49 Courtney Selby: I also send at least one ridiculous image, video, or gif every Monday to welcome everyone to the week. 00:53:57 Carol Collins: How are you handling replacement volumes? 00:54:35 Leigh Montgomery: We have been remote since March 20. From the second day we were up and running via Citrix to our Horizon catalog, hosted in Atlanta, with the webclient version that most of the staff was able to use on their own setups. Most of us are doing a rotation with one or two days in office and the rest remote. I’m the Electronic Resources Librarian for Mass. Trial Court Law Libraries. 00:55:31 Patricia Sayre-McCoy: I'm concerned about our replacement volumes and am resigned to having to buy some that were lost in space... 00:55:40 Anna Lawless-Collins: For staff mental health - bi-weekly dept meetings, regular one-on-ones, checking in about what they need, making sure everyone has projects but isn't overworked and reprioritizing as needed; also doing some GIFs :) 00:56:08 Anna Lawless-Collins: Our University's EAP dept also has several weekly support options 00:57:31 ALan Keely: Is anyone making a conscious decision to move print titles online? 00:57:44 Brianna Pulver: For Claims, I have been keeping a list to be able to send claim email when we return. 00:57:56 Andi Molinet: University of Denver did with Lexis Digital Library 00:58:15 Rebecca Bearden: A colleague who does the claiming has been doing a wonderful job keeping track of any expected and missing items so they can be replaced when we return if needed if they do not or cannot show up in the mean time. 00:58:15 Patricia Sayre-McCoy: We moved all our Course Reserve titles online if we could. 00:58:18 Monique Macaulay: Our library is cancelling all current orders and moving them all to ebook. 00:58:38 Elaine Bradshaw: We are moving all we can online, and budget constraints may dictate other decisions. 00:58:38 Andi Molinet: Monique, what platform for your ebooks? 00:59:04 Pearl McCrea (she/her): Yes purchasing e-books with all of the money we’re saving by not ordering monos right now! 00:59:11 Monique Macaulay: ProQuest and we are ordering through Gobi 00:59:14 Pearl McCrea (she/her): Thank you all! 00:59:25 Monique Macaulay: It's all new to me so I am just learning 00:59:32 Melissa Fayad: congrats Paul 00:59:35 Jennifer Valentine: on the ebook front -- my firm uses Westlaw's CUI service 00:59:38 krista santiago: Thank you.! 00:59:39 Karen Green: Thank you! 00:59:40 Susan Zago: Thank you all! 00:59:41 Leslie Cunningham: Thanks to everyone -- you covered quite a bit. Very helpful. 00:59:41 Maureen Quinlan: thank you 00:59:41 Megan Fowle: thank you! 00:59:42 Wendy Law: Thank you! 00:59:45 Jackie Magagnosc: Thank you! 00:59:45 ALan Keely: Thank you! 00:59:46 Caroline Walters: Thank you! 00:59:47 Leigh Montgomery: Thank you, all. 00:59:48 Elaine Bradshaw: Thanks!! 00:59:49 Bryan Petit: thank you
