Abstract Effective communication among library staff is essential for fostering efficient operations, improving staff morale, and offering the best possible patron service. This paper reviews several strategies that were implemented at the Orange Park Public Library in order to improve internal communication. These include (1) identifying stakeholders, (2) developing communication systems, (3) implementing effective meetings, and (4) cross-training staff.

Abstract The article addresses how a traditional Public commuter college library in the Bronx began making strides to automate student ID barcodes so online library access was granted without in person registrations. How does a barcode number get generated for an individual student and what offices need to be included in automating a library account? The author discusses the College's expansion of its online education program, strategies to serve this community and the eventual development of a digital ID card allowing students instant access to online resources. The article also reports data from a trouble ticket system developed for patron log in issues using Libwizard from Springshare.

Abstract In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Oklahoma State University Library developed an open-source application to record real-time building capacity. Library student security tracks building entrances and exits via the program, with current visitor numbers appearing on the library’s website via an API. This effort helps administrators have a clear picture of building capacity during opening hours for data-driven decision-making and provides users information regarding the library’s level of activity.
