Storage Facility Progress Reports
“Hmmm. I wonder what is going on with the storage facility planning…” If you have asked yourself this question please look at the weekly meeting notes and progress reports of the Storage Facilities Chairs Committee that are now available under the committee name on StaffWeb.
Pink Dot Progress
We have dotted closed to 90,000 items so far, which means we are doing about 20,000 items per week. That’s excellent! In other good news, the total number of items that need to have a pink dot has diminished – with just a few exceptions, it has been decided that all print serials will be treated the same, which means we don’t have to dot them! This also means we in the ballpark of 50 – 55% done. Go Pink Team!
