Policy

The person in charge (PIC) at each library location should be able to locate information and supplies necessary to operate in an efficient and timely manner.

Rationale

Each agency is unique in its desk setup and its location of equipment and supplies. This list is designed to assist staff or substitutes coping with an unfamiliar situation.

Application

The PIC should add information to this location list that is unique to the branch/section. All staff should be familiar with the list and know where to find it.
