Extending Telework Email
When this email was sent out to faculty and staff, we had been working from home for about three weeks. Several members in my department were struggling with navigating technology off campus, and our workflow was a little out of sync. One major change for staff was not having access to two computer screens and adjusting to using laptops as well as extra steps used to access the necessary programs off campus. Some duties simply could not be preformed remotely, things like printing labels, processing books, DVDs, and CDs. However, working from home allowed time to tackle other long-term projects that had been placed on the backburner. Things like updating eBook links, adding terms that allow for items to be easily searched for, and staff had opportunities to attend webinars that aligned with changes libraries across the globe were adapting due to COVID.
