New from Core...Quickly Implement a Contactless Service for your Library in this Oct. 27 webinar
Learn the latest techniques for planning and implementing a contactless hold, pickup service to keep you and your library safe. The Loyola University Chicago staff developed a successful model over this summer with very limited time. The presenters will share examples of the related services that other libraries have implemented and what methods worked for their library space. Even when contactless pickup may no longer be necessary, these are techniques that libraries can apply to create similar services and adapt to new realities.
Core: Leadership, Infrastructure, and Futures will present the webinar “Rapidly Implementing a Contactless Service,” on Tuesday, October 27, from 1:00 – 2:00 pm, Central Time.
In this 60-minute webinar, you will learn:
- New systems and processes to consider in designing and implementing a contactless service model.
- How to quickly assess and respond to potential problems while implementing a contactless service model
- How to Integrate relevant techniques in designing services at their own institutions.
