Opening procedures

Opening Duties:

There are two type of tasks that need to be completed every morning – opening desk duties and opening stacks duties. I just wanted to go over them and make sure everyone understands how to do them.

Please discuss with your opening partner which task (desk or stacks) each of you will be doing. The person staying at the desk will go up after the upstairs tasks have been completed.

Stacks duties:

1. The person going upstairs should be upstairs until all the stacks have been walked aisle by aisle
2. Push in all chairs
3. Clean all whiteboards
4. Check 225 and 231 (should be locked if not in use), push in chairs
5. Check the Practice Presentation Room and the Multi-purpose room to make sure they are both neat and tidy.

Desk duties:

1. Turn on Circ1 and Circ2. Login in to Workflows and ILLiad, and the Student worker wiki.
2. Turn on the TV and make sure it is on the availability screen
3. Unlock the key box
4. Unlock the cash drawer
5. Check the receipt paper and fill if needed
6. Wipe down counters
7. Look over reservations for the day
8. Check phone messages
9. Check the book drop in the back and at the desk
10. Complete statistics
• Gate count for the previous day, also print the hourly gate count for previous day.
• Reference stats
• Write states on the opening desks task clipboard and in the Statistics binder on the back shelf.

If you have any questions about these, please come ask. I just wanted to go over them for all the new people.

Thanks, guys!
