Initiative Title

Paging of Material and Contactless Locker Pick Up

Initiative Details
Prompted by the COVID-19 pandemic, the Libraries are now paging items from the stacks. This is done via the ‘Get It’ button in the catalog or by coming to Circulation during open hours and requesting an item. If requested through the catalog, the Patron may request pick up at Circulation or pick up through the new Luxer One lockers located in the first floor south lobby. These lockers are self-serve and will allow patrons to pick up material without coming in contact with Library staff. The lockers are also used to allow patrons to pick up printed items they have ordered from Hollander MakeCentral.

Supervisor Community of Practice

Initiative Details
The pilot program for our first Supervisor Community of Practice cohorts launched last fall. This year we have two cohorts of 6 librarian and support staff supervisors. We meet once a month for a year long program to read chapters from a book called Be a Great Boss, and we have 90 minute discussions around the topics and how they relate to supervision at MSUL. The hope is to gain consistency among supervisors at MSUL, and bring any possible systemic changes to light.
