  6. 6. <ul><li>In a conference with the Director of the Lee County Library, the following situation was discussed: </li></ul><ul><li>The current Technology Specialist is pursuing her MLIS, and therefore will be becoming part-time in July 2008 to concentrate on her studies. </li></ul><ul><li>In May 2009, in all probability the Tech Specialist will either be promoted to a Librarian position, or will leave to pursue her career elsewhere. </li></ul><ul><li>The Library Director does not plan on filling that position when the current staff member vacates it. </li></ul>Situation Discussed
  7. 7. <ul><li>Tech Specialist will train the other staff members to be more self-sufficient with troubleshooting common computer and printer issues. </li></ul><ul><li>Tech Specialist will “tighten up” the maintenance and update procedures. </li></ul>Suggested Solutions

  11. 11. <ul><li>Recommended Clean Slate software, which will restore computer to original configuration after patrons download programs, save files, and attempt to change desktop settings, etc. </li></ul><ul><li>Recommended Symantec Ghost software, which will allow updates to be “pushed” out to computers quicker than updating individually. </li></ul><ul><li>Recommended LogMeIn software, which will allow staff members to log in to computers at other branches to facilitate in troubleshooting. </li></ul><ul><li>Spare printers and other peripheral devices will be kept on hand at branch locations to avoid a staff member from headquarters making a special trip when equipment needs to be replaced. </li></ul>Steps Detailed
