Number 555 August 18, 1989 I NEW TASK FORCE A Task Force on Staff Working Conditions has been created to examine library clerical and technical staff concerns and alsc to help make changes to improve library working conditions. . As a follow-up to an ACTs survey last spring, the Task Force A Committee is developing a more in—depth questionnaire which will be given to all clerical and technical employees, The Committee will make every effort to reach all employees, and we hope that if enough staff members respond to the survey, the suggestions will lead to positive changes. Staff input is very important and very valuable, and the Committee encourages staff members to share concerns and suggestions by participating in this survey. Committee members are: Pam Brackett, Karen Cline, Jeff Frey, Jennifer Michener, Kate Seago, and Sue Burch, Chair. (Submitted by Sue Burch.) GPD CLOSING GPD will be closed August 14-18 so that we can finish some shifting and reshelve the materials that had to be moved this week to avoid water damage. We will respond to telephone inquiries if we are in room 116 when the phone rings. The door to room 123 (Sandee's office) will be unlocked, but closed. Library staff members are welcome to come in if they need to use e room 116 material themselves, or retrieve material for a patron to use elsewhere in the library. Since the stacks are open already, this week will be no different than any other so far as ‘ their use is concerned. Please remember that nearly all of our SUDOC fiche is now housed in room 116, so these materials will be restricted to staff use or retrieval during this week as well. (Submitted by Sandra McAninch.)
