Unable to hear/comment (no audio on my library PC), so will catch the recording on my home laptop.

We use the side bar since there are two of us working on it - it tells the other person to look into that one! It's nice when sharing.

Are past years locked?

My favourite feature is the save option. With how overwhelming this past year was, and the changes, it's nice to work on it bit by bit.

What is the reason behind 1.15?

I love the idea of 1.15 - that's so important to be able to tell our libraries' stories!

So during normal times?

To clarify - if an employee graduated with an MLS in December, would I could them as FTE MLS for the whole of 2020?

Is recorded content the same as hosting StoryTime in Google Groups?

No, it's live with our preschool

OK, thanksk!

If the Library was closed to the public and staff during the statewide shutdown, can we still answer yes for some of the questions that we did have available (i.e. curbside) when staff were in the building.

Thank You

Is 2.5c for this year only? or in a normal year?

Would 2.5c be different as well due to 2.5d through 2.5f?

Again to clarify closed means closed for public entry into the building?

So even though we served patrons via email and phone and curbside, we can't count it as a week of service. Right?

Even though we had public service during some of that time

Would limited occupancy apply if parts of the library (for us basement/children's area) is off limits, or just if there is a numerical limit on occupants?

If we are only allowing people in by appointment does that count for being not closed

What if we only allowed a few people in for computer services.

"Locations closed " the same as "public service hours?

That's too bad because we really felt like we were serving our patrons.

agreed

Just my two cents of grumpiness

Yep, our service weeks number is only 11 as we closed the building on March 16 and haven't reopened due to our renovation not being complete yet.

We didn't close. We rotated staff and worked at home, and had limited staff in the building

got it

We can only allow a certain number of people in our building at one time due to size of the building and space requirements.

Just to clarify, if the building was closed and working from home, to limited services as curbside to limited in building, that would not change the number of public service hours per year. As we were still working and serving patrons.(Honestly I think I am confusing myself right now)

Ok, am I understanding that 2.5 d,e and f need to equal 52 weeks?

Could you maybe put out an example of that section?

We know it's not your fault, Alice <3

2.7 how would it reflect limited service in building?Also if it gets flagged, should we put the reason as covid-19 pandemic?

I am sorry, but what if we have no idea on some of these?

We were changing constantly.

Sometimes week to week...

Yes, that's the one

Well, at least it's captured in circulation

Thanks Darci!

I thought f was of the number of weeks in e

Very helpful!

TY

2.5d + 2.5e= 52 weeks. 2.5f is kind of a sub category of 2.5d. Of the weeks open, how many were limited?

2.7 is people in the building ?2.7a is calls, emails, texts ie: not in person ?

Does anyone have an easy accurate way to track reference transactions?

I have the same question as Aimee.

2.7a asks how you are counting? An actual count or an estimate.

I'm sorry I may have missed this. . .does curbside count as a library visit?

Does a sample week or month count as CT annual count?

But we can count calls and emails answered from home as reference transactions, right?

@Sara Koehn, no, according to IMLS, curbside visits do not count a library visits. A library visit is a patron coming into the library.

What if you had a remote site for programming (Summer Library Program) - does that count for a library visit?

If we are open and continue to do curbside for patrons, can it then be counted as a library visit?

@Sara Koehn, a library visit is the door count. Patrons coming into the library.

@Gail Santy, thank you!!

@Sara, we know it is work and hard work at that.

How would dropping off and picking up materials from patrons residence work? Outside of regular operating hours.

Ok thank you

Is 6.3 where CARES ACT or SPARKS monies count?

Where would SPARKS funding or KS Library Cares go, 6.3 or 6.10?

is 6.3 the case where your city might pay the electric bill?

Paying the electric bill is indirect additional local public support. 6.4

We received a grant to buy a new computer where does that go

Would "Giving Tuesday" be under 6.4 or 6.10?

A county foundation

Aimee, 6.10

Thank you for the clarification

Aimee, it would be considered a donation

Where would you put Wonderbooks? In 8.6?

Thanks!

What about hotspots for checkout?

what about mileage?

What about Blu-ray 4-k

do we have to wait to complete our surveys after statewide collection is prefilled

9.5 All other materials—is that all other Physical Materials?

With Hoopla, do we count every title available for use in the entire Hoopla catalog, or only the ones actually paid for because the users use them (if that makes sense)?

Do you know if Sunflower eLibrary will send prefill information?

Diana, Dave Fischer is working on it.

Thanks, Gail.

Can you please repeat that

What?

Say again please

And if we were closed to the public at the end of the year? (count of computers being used)

If we have three computers available at the start of 2020 and the end of the year we are down to only one, so we just say one?

There isn't an average of computer use?

Thank you

But then won't it look like computers were added next year, when they weren't?

When we get to 10.5 I have a questions, Google Analytics is going to say users and sessions (per day and total). I think we have been telling people to use “Users” and not sessions

I think the splash page would be for Wifi

Google Analytics is what we use for KLOW

Wordpress websites supported by NEKLS

Do those informal interactions also count under reference questions

Okay thanks

How do we count RB Digital if we lost it when it changed to Overdrive?

We had RB DIGITAL outside of the State Library too

I believe you still have access to the reports. Email me at andy.schafer@ks.gov if I can help further.

What about a live storytime that was done on Facebook live and posted as a recording on Facebook?

How should we show hybrid programs (live with Zoom a component, for instance)?

Is there anyway to count the number craft bags people are picking up weekly?

So even grab bags that patrons come in and have to ask for doesn't count? I have ours all made up and sorted for patrons.

can you count as a program? like 1 program

Alice you're roboting for me, I don't know if that's so for anyone else

I can't hear Alice either

It's happening on my end too, technical difficulties happen.

yes

yes! :)

yes

Yes we can!

if the make and take bags are picked up and then have a video to show how to use the materials, does that count as a program? is the attendance based on who watched the video rather than who picked up the bag?

thanks!

Does it count both live or recorded?

If our grab n go items were set out to pick up on a particular day between say 1-3 like we when would have a regular program, would that count as a program.

Can we save this and go back to it as needed?

Laura, do you mean this training session?

This is recorded. And I did save the chat. I am also here if you have questions

No, I meant the survey. Sorry....

Please remind everyone how to save and continue working later.

Top left there is a save button

With all the down numbers will there be several notes that have to be done, or is the survey taking into account the down turn of stats for us?
