[LM_NET] Substitute Procedures--my last word

[Mary Peterson <MPeterson@CRANBROOK.EDU>]

Late last year, in preparation for a visit from our accrediting agency,
I prepared a handbook for the library (really for what I do in the
library on a day-to-day basis).  I looked at it from the perspective of
"What if I die tomorrow."  It is extremely detailed, but covers
everything that happens in this library daily.  

In addition, we are a boarding school and, as such, have faculty who
cover the circulation desk at night.  They do not have access to the
circulation system.  Instead, I leave a form on the desk each night that
is used when students check out materials.  There are three
columns--student name and number, barcode number, and title of book (as
a countercheck).  This works quite well.

Obviously, from the discussion in this thread, this may not help all
the time but it does most of the time.  I would be happy to supply any
"detailed" information; please contact me off list.
