Our "Stars of Keystone's Staff" series includes some basic info and insight into one of our staff members. We hope these posts will provide you a look into who makes up our diverse, supportive, and knowledgeable staff.
This week we wanted to give you the opportunity to learn more about the woman who's usually the first voice you hear when you call our office, knows how to use the copier better than anyone else on staff, and can program the heck out of a barcode scanner. Hopefully, you know who I'm about by now...yup it's Tracey Fye!
I hope you all got to enjoy a long weekend! It’s always hard to get back to work, but I have something fun to help welcome you back...a new video demonstrating the Scribe in Cartridge Recycle mode!
What do you think? We’re finding that the Cartridge Recycle mode is more streamlined than we expected when we got started with PCC, and we think it’s a great option for libraries who are considering implementing a Scribe appliance.
Interested in moving to a Duplication on Demand service model, but not sure how you’ll get enough cartridges and other supplies? There’s help available! NLS is offering supplies to all network libraries that are willing to transition to zero copy allotment--whether they plan to implement Gutenberg or Scribe.
Many of you have already heard about this and some have already put in their request, but please read on anyway—we’ve worked with NLS to make sure we’re accurately covering all the important details.
On top of that, we’ve developed a worksheet to help you plan your implementation process, including when you will need additional supplies.
Just the Facts
When you are ready, you can order from NLS:
Up to half of your total need for cartridges and containers. (Total need is calculated based on 5 cartridges per active audio patron, so half works out to 2.5 cartridges and cases per active patron.)
Pre-printed cartridge and container labels with your library information
In return, you will need to work towards full duplication service. NLS expects libraries to zero out their copy allotment within 12 months of implementing duplication on demand.
As more Talking Book libraries are considering which Duplication on Demand equipment and workflow to implement, we're working to help you make an informed choice about what will work best for your library, your staff, and your patrons. That means more resources and more opportunities to ask questions and get in-depth answers.
