Occupational He...Hi Tricia<BR/>thanks for your feedback. Occupational Health and Safety is a really important issue for us as it is in all public libraries where there is a lot of manual handling. We are currently updating the dump bins in libraries - the trouble is that no dump bins can cope with peak returns over weekends and closed days. We are also implementing a replacement plan for the big book trolleys. Our staff are provided with ongoing training on correct manual handling procedures. <BR/>ChristineChristine Mackenziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16876311595607876338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23140270.post-20056856187841449112007-12-17T13:49:00.000+11:002007-12-17T13:49:00.000+11:00Hi Rachelewe started with a general library blog w...Hi Rachele<BR/>we started with a general library blog which was more of an events calendar, and then we started the local history blog and the genealogy blog, which have been well received. Finally came our reading blog which is staff reviews of books. <BR/>I have been pleased that we are getting feedback especially on this blog. <BR/>ChristineChristine Mackenziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16876311595607876338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23140270.post-67301278056975757492007-12-15T14:51:00.000+11:002007-12-15T14:51:00.000+11:00"The reason we have introduced this technology is ..."The reason we have introduced this technology is to make circulation easy, quick and safe. Easy and quick for borrowers, and safer for staff who currently lend out 3.6 million items a year."<BR/><BR/>Safer for staff? If your intention is to make life safer for your staff, why aren't you providing more up to date equipment. I have seen staff at your branches wheel around unwieldy trolleys overloaded with books, and inadquate dumpbins. I have glimpses staff picking up loads of books off the floor, where they come in through the returns chute. Surely this is backbreaking work, and could be made easier by providing appropriate equipment.Triciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10914817016628679903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23140270.post-30891398313138918402007-12-06T16:29:00.000+11:002007-12-06T16:29:00.000+11:00I might have to venture over to Rosanna and check ...I might have to venture over to Rosanna and check out your RFID system.
