Hi all,
The majority of presentations and hybrid meetings in the conference room can be conducted wirelessly. I’ve updated the instructions to reflect that.
If staff want to use HDMI for a wired presentation, I’ve moved the adaptor and HDMI cord to the ground-floor desk with the other cords/adaptors.
Let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks!
Hi everyone,
I am working on a list of our local partner organizations and the RPL staff liaisons. I thought we’d already had one, but I can’t find it it lives on the S drive under: Library Files\02 Working Groups and Teams\Outreach Working Group
While this is a living document, I’d like to have any current liaisons listed by Thursday, December 19th.
Thanks!
Michelle
Updated Conference Room instructions and Community Room AV instructions have been created. A printed copy is available in the Conference Room. They are saved on the Instructions Page of the staff intranet and are on the S drive under Library Files\Manuals-Instructions\Meeting Room Instructions.
Please use the stylus pen on the touch screen at the print release station.
Also, TBS updated the credit card machine today. If you notice any issues, please let me know.
I am working to develop a collection of professional books and materials to eventually be available for internal use by RPL employees in the staff lounge.
When you get a chance, please take a look around your offices and at home to see if you have any materials marked “workroom” or any other relevant items from your personal collection that you are willing to share to help advance the professional development of your peers.
Feel free to drop items off to me in Admin or in my mailbox.
Hi everyone,
We want staff to send us pictures of your museum pass visits and we will promote it via social media.
We are also choosing new swag to give away at outreach events, if you have suggestions, including any environmentally friendly swag, let Desiree or Michelle know.
