Director's Report January 11, 1999

Statistics: Audrey Watson, the Automated Systems Department Head, is now reporting on some previously uncounted items. Some of the numbers we will be able to use for the annual report to the state and some will be incorporated into my monthly report. Examples of these counts are: number of visits to our homepage on crisny (265 in December), and there were 2805 searches done on the EBSCOhost database.

News of the Departments: The building passed the fire inspection this year with a report of "outstanding." Accolades to Richard and crew. The snowblower gasped its last and is being replaced. Richard will be crawling around on ladders again, stringing more phone lines and computer cables to accommodate the influx of new staff terminals. We had some difficulty with Johnson Controls over the holidays- the computers were down and they were on vacation until January 4. Fortunately, Richard can access and make adjustments from home so we survived. The heat on the mezzanine has been in the very high seventies during this period, so Richard suggested taking out one of the windows by the back stairs to see if it would improve the air flow.

The Media Department used the December lull to manage a thorough weeding of the video collection. Many items were repackaged and lo and behold, suddenly they were in demand once again!

The Adult Services/Reference Department has been busy getting everything in place for the January 4 startup of the new request system. Many of the library's staff are actively involved in various teams and special committees for Upper Hudson. It's good to have first-hand input to the procedures that shape our service.

UHISJUHLAN: Currently the number of circulating libraries is 18 plus 6 branches. This is a phenomenal achievement which happened in just two years. The port charges for our UHLAN access will go up approximately 10% for the three year period beginning in 2000. The circulating libraries are beginning to come together in agreement on various standards that will be common practice across the system. Beginning January 4, we implemented a new intralibrary loan system known as the send/item list which is part of DRA. It seems to be working very well. We have all agreed to let our books be renewed at any library; by extension we figured this should also mean that we ought to renew over the phone, too. So we started that on January 4, also. Unfortunately, some libraries don't believe quite so strongly in cooperation and implement policies that rattle all of our efforts. Albany Public has just raised all their fines to 20<:t a

day; double anyone else. I wonder if folks with overdue APL books will return them here and pay our lower fine? Remains to be seen.

Upper Hudson is reevaluating their long range plan.

Meetings and Miscellany: The library was unable to open on Sunday January 3 because of the weather. The parking lot and sidewalks were very treacherous on Monday and we had to delay our opening until noon in order for the custodians to make some headway.

As you are probably aware, Barbara Mladinov' s daughter, Mary, passed away last week. There was a memorial service in Washington, DC January 10. I have a copy of the obituary if anyone would care to see it.

We are no longer collecting the 25-cent fee that we used to charge for reserving books. This was never part of any board approved policy (that I can determine); it has always appeared as a point of information in our library services brochure. I do not believe that the board needs to take any further action.

There was a question last month about the security of the money collected at the reference desk in payment for printer fees. We have implemented some new precautionary routines: the reference librarian turns the bag over to the circulation desk at closing and it is placed in the locker with the cash drawer. The bag will be emptied at least three times a week so that the amount kept on hand is minimal.
