Thought we were going to have a week off from blogging but no! Isla has slipped another 'just write a short blog' in, so here we go again... It was interesting to see how my colleagues activities linked into 'follow that book... To actually see the process each person goes through to get a book on the shelf was quite enlightening. The accounting procedure looked totally mind boggling. I've had quick look at Isla's blog and tried the link to the electronic BNB . If we could download the summary entry onto a form it would save time physically writing out slips - something to work on perhaps. It was good to be together as a group and discuss procedures already in place and whether they could be improved. I wonder how many times we are going to hear ' Why do so and so like that' and the answer 'Because its always been done that way...'

  2. Yup, sounds as if the time is fast approaching when we can stop writing out book order slips - yippee!! Have just gained username and passwords for online BNB - so I'll have a play and see how easy it'll be to work it.
