  Developing and Maintaining E-Reader Policies and Procedures for Libraries

  November 10th, 2011 | Permalink | Comment?

  Tuesday, January 31, 2012 ♦ 1 pm Eastern  ♦ 60 min

  As debates rage on about e-books, publishers and privacy, how are libraries approaching policies for managing e-readers? Join us for this webinar focused on the nuts and bolts of serving patrons with gadgets, including policies and procedures for libraries lending e-readers and for patrons using their own readers to access library e-book collections. Hear from a library who has e-reader policies and procedures in place, including how they review and update polices; and from a library who’s recently developed policies and procedures after researching and learning from many other libraries.

  Presenters: David Newyear, adult information services manager, Mentor Public Library, Ohio; and Daniel Schwartz, library director, Butt-Holdsworth Memorial Library, Kerrville, Texas.

  TechAtlas Event Tracker Webinar

  April 1st, 2009 | Permalink | Comment?

  On April 16 during a free one-hour webinar, we’ll show how to use the TechAtlas Event Tracker to track computer problems and solutions. You’ll see the software in action and have a chance to ask questions about using the tools.

  Event Tracker is a tool within TechAtlas which allows users to create an online “help desk” so they can track all of the requests and solutions to computer troubles in the library. When a staff member reports the problem using the web-based form, TechAtlas notifies the designated technical support staff by e-mail. After the problem has been resolved, there is space in Event Tracker to include the solution. This creates a knowledge base that can be referred to later if the same problem occurs. It also helps you to stay on top of all the technology tasks that need to be completed in the library.

  Register for the webinar.
