Hi Louise,
Thank you for your thoughts.
I've learned I need a C to USB-A cable ro adapter to attach the cell to an
older laptop.
I borrowed such a cable and it works flawlessly.

We used to use Salesforce for tracking faculty engagement and recording
instruction statistics. It proved to be too cumbersome to use. We never
found ourselves consulting the records, and the stats reporting was much
easier to both collect and analyze with simple forms and spreadsheets. We

We are having a similar conversation at our library at the moment. We're
seeing the number of items that "walk" increase year after year.[1] One of
the factors we identified is that many of the patrons coming in to borrow
our hotspots are not regular library users, and may not be familiar with

Hi folks,
I’m wondering if anyone is using a CRM in their library, i.e. for tracking
reference or service requests? Do you have a tool that works well?

Thank you all!
I borrowed another's micro-C cable and it works like a charm.

Do you have any you use in your area you might suggest?

Many thanks to all for such thoughtful answers to this somewhat thorny
issue. It seems that the only thing that would help without having a down

All,
We're considering taking our Systems Librarian position and removing the
requirement for a library degree, making it a technician position instead. The
job's primary focus is in working with Alma configuration and troubleshooting
the perennial off-campus access issues. The hope is that

Hi Will,
As a Systems Librarian myself, *a lot* of what I do doesn't require an
MLIS. Web dev, dev ops, data munging, API integration between systems, etc.

Hi
My only concern would be if you hired someone who didn't understand libraries,
and wanted to do things with your systems that don't work for libraries, e.g.
