5.87 | | Description of fees | In 2018, the library system charged a nominal fee to offset the cost of physical processing library materials for 55% of member libraries. The fee only subsidized the service, but did not pay for the full true cost.
The system also charged for IT Procurement. These charges cover the cost of library system staff to procure, configure, install and maintain public computers at member libraries. The fee only subsidized the service, but did not pay for the full true cost.
Lastly, the library system enters annually into three-year agreement with member libraries, which defines how costs will be shared to maintain the ILS and eBook collections. Member libraries contribute based on a formula established by the membership, so there is parity in contributions. These contributions subsidize the cost of running the ILS and purchasing eBooks minus the state's contribution to Automation. | |

14. Summary of Library System Accomplishments |
Using the goals from Section 4 in the approved 2017-2021 System Plan of Service, BRIEFLY describe the final results of each element for Year 1 (2017). |
14.1 | | Element 1: Resource Sharing - Results | """"""Actions Taken in 2018:
1. Facilitated member access to library vendor collection tools, including acquisition, development, processing, and finishing services from Baker & Taylor, Brodart, and Ingram. This required live panel at library system's Spring CE, membership wide webinars, ILS specialist presentations and trainings at system wide director meetings.
2. Transitioned membership to digital only cataloging requests.
3. Conducted Cataloging Advisory Group meetings which will inform future collection management trainings and resources provided to the membership.
4. Included collection management in the LEAD curriculum as a module and integrated collection marketing into other LEAD modules.
5. Assisted in deep weed in Essential Club Free Library.
6. Assisted in collection export for Sebco evaluation of Pulteney's collection in preparation for purchasing additional non-fiction books for new library building.
7. Via various methods (e-mail newsletters, listservs, workshops) provided information on 'Best Of', Award Winners, and subject/topic specific titles to raise awareness of new 'stuff' being published.
8. Began bi-monthly WorkFlows Wizard emails that cover 1-2 topics each. Topics have included barcodes, library calendar, email notices, DAC Reciprocal Borrowing Group, etc..
9. Presented WorkFlows Tips and Tricks at the Spring CE with 24 attendees. Presented 4 quarterly ILS/IT Workshops with 104 overall attendees.
10. ILS Team re-did all Item Maintenance documentation to reflect new cataloging procedures in response to the end of physical processing.
11. ILS Staff visited 34 Member Libraries to review adding items to the catalog in WorkFlows and cover the new (to some) procedure of submitting items to the Help Desk for cataloging.
12. BARC services are supported by STLS resources by offering additional training and intermediate assistance with overdues and facilitating unique requests. While BARC tends to operate smoothly without much facilitation, there are special needs and circumstances in which desired materials are outside the realm of "normal" requests--such as materials not available from free lending institutions and materials that are ONLY available from the Library of Congress. Both of these requests required additional intervention by STLS ILL staff to successfully fill the requests.
13. Assisted the DAC with implementation of the Reciprocal Borrowing Program, opening up holds on new items to patrons across the system. As of 2019 (Q1), 23 library outlets are participating in this group and nearly all feedback from patrons and staff has been positive.
14. Determined which libraries have not signed up for a BARC account. Met with library staff to ensure that libraries had an account and understood the process to use the BARC service.In 2018 met with Cohocton, Watkins Glen, Canaseraga and Little Genesee staff. Some visits were due to changes in library staff and lack of transference of knowledge of procedures and processes.
15. Attention to Interlibrary Loan services has pinpointed a lack of a process to eliminate old bibliographic records from the ILS. Project leaders are creating a plan to correct this which will be implemented in 2019.
16. Quarterly Digital Library Meetings are held. Developments/updates are shared, troubleshooting & brainstorming also happens at each meeting.
17. Digital collections are regularly featured on the STLS Facebook page. Member libraries are encouraged to share posts on their own Facebook pages.
18. Digital collections are featured in the STLS brochure. Dedicated bookmarks were also created for Freegal, RBdigital, and Overdrive. These materials are provided to the membership.
19. OPAC is currently under revision - upgrades will allow for integration of "buttons" for each digital collection. Expect this to be implemented by the end of 2019.
20. In general, staff responsible for digital collections have been identified.

14.2 | | Element 2: Special Client Groups - Results | """"""Actions Taken in 2018:
1. Began collecting and cataloging juvenile items in Braille for circulation to our member libraries and their patrons.
2. Held two member training sessions on the NY State Talking Book and Braille Library and made individual consultation visits to train members on this service, as well as distributing information about the TBBL to all member libraries. Featured information on the TBBL at our Annual Conference.
3. Added an additional adult care facility in Schuyler County to our rotating collection delivery schedule.
4. Researched options for book purchasing and processing options for our Rotating Collections, in keeping with the STLS phase-out of in-house processing services. Learned how to use in-house laminator to process youth rotating collections.
5. Worked on plans for rotating collections moving forward, after the retirement in 2019 of longtime Outreach Clerk Vickie Button.
6. Worked with the new Correctional Facility Librarian at the Southport Facility to help her learn what services STLS has to offer facility librarians. Visited her library and regularly assisted her in ordering books and materials.
7. Keturah visited county jails in Allegany, Steuben, Yates, and Schuyler County and met with jail officials to determine what types of library services STLS and member libraries could provide them with. Keturah invited member library directors of these counties to attend the meetings and to work with her to help provide services.
8. Administered the 2018 NY State Adult Literacy Grant funds to help subsidize the 2018 Allegany County Job Fair. Also used the funds to purchase a large number of books on job seeking, skill building, and employment resources. These books were added to the collections of all member libraries in Chemung, Steuben, Schuyler, and Yates Counties.
9. Visited Catholic Charities service locations across our service area in 2018 and worked with them on a donation of socks. Visited the Food Bank of the Southern Tier and invited them to do a Hunger Simulation training at our Summer Learning workshop. Keturah worked with the Arts Council of the Southern Finger Lakes to help implement Youth Art Month displays in member libraries and travelled to member libraries to hang the displays. Keturah met with the Bath VA Medical Center to help them schedule informational events at member libraries. Keturah participated in an Emergency Preparedness Drill with the Steuben County Department of Health.
10. Organized an STLS booth at the Allegany County Fair and worked with member libraries to staff the booth for community outreach. Volunteered to help at the Yates County Fair Libraries booth.
11. We were able to offer programs for member library staff about community organizations such as the Food Bank of the Southern Tier, and we were able to help coordinate programs held in partnership between member libraries and community service agencies. Continuing to promote webinars offered by Hunger Solutions New York helps to reinforce activities that members can offer and/or support in their communities.
12. Supported Allegany County Library Directors Association in developing partnerships and connections with agencies for county-wide projects such as the Allegany County Job Fair (2018) and the Granny Square Project (2018).
13. Continually reminding member library staff about local agencies with which to partner and/or connections to trainings (online or otherwise) to extend services to their community that align with public library core values.
14. Developing a relationship with ProAction of Steuben and Yates Counties with training of staff (often college age) of summer recreation staff. (Plan of Action=August 2018. Delivery of training will occur in 2019.) Begun a relationship (early 2019) with United Way of the Southern Tier (serves Chemung and Steuben Counties.) to encourage member libraries to support United Way project: Dolly Parton Imagination Library.
15. Incorporated an R&D: Rip Off and Duplicate segment of the 2018 & 2019 Summer Learning workshop.
16. Continued to use The FLASH and YOUTH distribution lists to encourage the sharing of ideas.
17. At least ONE more library outlet will provide a summer reading encouragement program to the youth in their community in summer 2019.
18. Programs aimed at ages 0-5 and their parents/caregivers with a determined Early Literacy have been featured in The FLASH and are continually included in the training sessions and workshops offered.
19. Youth Services Consultant (Lorie Brown) took advantage of an opportunity to be involved in a Train the Trainer program offered by DLD/Web junction, Supercharged Story times, this allowed the Youth Services Consultant to explore other ways to impart early literacy techniques to story time practitioners.
20. Creation of Program Resources that emphasized early literacy foundational concepts are 'in the works.' and should be compiled by beginning of Q2-2019.
