Editor's Notes
- Sometimes we just don’t know how to answer a question or provide help to a patron. These are some quick things to try to get you through the transaction. Using the library newsletter – website – intranetHelp screens and GoogleWhen to ask a co-workerAnd using a positive turn of phraseAll of this provides knowledge which allows us to provide added value and a better customer experienceBut why is it so important that we help patrons ? Libraries are in a very competitive environment right now. Park district for programs, Amazon for cheap books, eBooks are instant gratification, technology is getting cheaper.What have we got? Location (not really); Better stuff (nope); Free stuff? (true but costs are coming down, NetFlix/eReaders). We have an EXPERIENCE.
- Compare PetSmart to PetCo.Think of the library as your home and the patrons are your guests. You want them to feel comfortable, enjoy their stay. So how do we do all this and give this great EXPERIENCE? Customer Service.
- People make decisions based on what other people share. How many of you look at reviews before buying something? How many of you look up a review of a movie before seeing it? What about a book review?Click on YELPHow many of you knew the library was on YELP and getting reviewed?We want to make sure that any information that is shared; and any comments that are written are POSITIVE.
- We need to be knowledgeable – so we can share more information.It’s not just finding the book they want, but showing them what else we haveDownloadableebooks; databases; using the library from home is all ADDED VALUEWe need to be looking at ways to sell our services and give people more options.
- They ask different things at different desks. But we all need to know as much as possible about what goes on at the library.If someone asks about renewing an item, you need to know that. But if a patron asks about how to use their eReader, you are not expected to know that. However, you are expected to know who does know that.Don’t send someone away unless you are sending them to someone who knows the answerCall first before sending the patron awayTell the patron about other resources we have available to themILLDatabases from homeExpress computersSpecialty programs (Brian’s bird watching, investment, jobs assistance, etc.)+Book a librarian+Online Chat+Online Tutoring
- What you KNOW is better than what you HEARD.Remember to write things down. I’d rather you write it down and need to refer back then forget and have to ask again (and again).

- We need to find a way to make things work.Whether a patron needs a computer but doesn’t have their library cardOr they are getting an error message on an ereader we know nothing about (but since they are using our product, we need to figure it out!)
- STUFF I JUST DON’T KNOW
- We want to help others in way that they can help themselves in the future.Write things downWe learn from one another; we learn when we review a processWe all want to be part of a team
- We need to know you want to learn and be part of a the team.
