August 16, 2011 9am-3pm at Colby College, Waterville Maine
Schedule and Content
We have designed a very practical day with a concentration on learning, making/creating, and deciding so that there will be concrete outcomes from the day’s attendance. The focus is on MaineCat as a borrowing system and how it works (or should work
or could work). The content will be geared to those who are currently active in the MaineCat system (URSUS, Solar, Minerva, and the stand-alone systems). Each of the morning sessions will include 3 different groups for teaching and discussion,
with subjects from the very basics of MaineCat circulation, more advanced discussions of how to troubleshoot and optimize the system, panel discussions of issues like visiting patron borrowing, and codifying policies and procedures.
See this PDF of the day’s schedule for complete descriptions of the day’s sessions.
