The Future ? Test appears successful at redirecting resources to purchase more unique items. Should it be continued ?
Another Change on the Horizon:Virtual YBP Approval • CAC Recommends: • Important to have virtual approvals operational before move to Ackerman • Separate virtual approvals from shelf-ready processing test
Test group • Marti Alt, Susan Logan, Mary Scott, Susan Wyngaard • Voted on basics: • Virtual selection first; then will test shelf-ready • Two files: 1) virtual books, 2) virtual notification slips • Start with broad subject profiles; can narrow later • In beginning, will physically review selections when received to evaluate test (no return option) • Indicated training needs; will test training materials • Next step, have YBP switch test groups’ profile from physical to virtual books and slips
-Support for next year - Funds will need ongoing attention • Allocations may appear less due to negative carry-forward • Budget is stable; cost of materials is rising • YBP is trying to sell “not held in OhioLINK” titles • Move to online fund reports for more current status (OSCAR fund status is posted daily)
What support could you use? • Did receiving more fund alerts by e-mail this year help you manage your funds? • Would you attend a roundtable discussion / workshop on fund management techniques for a flat budget year?
Thank you for your ideas. Discussion? Questions?
