1) The first topic of discussion was the librarian Reference Desk coverage from December 10, 2001 to January 25, 2002.
 
We will start single coverage on December 10, 2001 the Monday before exams and continue until the first day of spring semester.  Cindy will figure out distributions for the teams and have a sigh up sheet.  

During exam week librarians will be scheduled the9 am to 9 am Monday - Thursday, 9 am - 4 pm Friday 10 am - 5pm Saturday and 12 noon to 9 pm Sunday. 

December 26 - 28, 2001 librarians will have single coverage 10 am  - 4 pm.  There will be no back up and two three-hour shifts each day.  If a librarian works 6 hours during this time it will count as a weekend in spring?

During January there will be single coverage from 9 am to 6 pm Monday - Thursday, 9 am to 4 pm Friday and Saturday and Sunday single coverage during time open.    

We discussed having an on call librarian.  (Based on information from Glenn we will need to continue the discussion next meeting.)
 
2) We discussed the TIP meeting outcome. 

a. How to reward good behavior was discussed and the librarians will take this back to their teammates.
b. Peer Review was discussed and the SIRS committee members will bring it back to their teammates.

3) We discussed the Basic Guidelines for Information Desk Services.  Glen will mail these ten points out to the Sirs members for review and discussion.


There was a discussion on how to deal with these guidelines.  We decided to send them out when they are completed and ask Cindy to include them on the SIRS page.  When the Best Practices Guideline is next updated these Basic Guidelines for Information Desk Services will be included.

Round Robin:

Yahaira asked about the sending people to Hornbake Storage for photocopying.  The procedures are on the SIRS page.
 
Yahaira asked when the Best Practices Guidelines will be updated on the home page.
