RE: Technical Services workstations RE: Mil Cataloging - printing

["Sandra Olson" <sandyo@xxxxxxxxxx>]

      With III we have moved completely away from doing work slips.
Everything is done online and we find they are an unnecessary waste of
paper.

      We have a laser printer networked to two computers for our
acquisitions workflow, and a Epson hooked to a terminal for report printing.
Since updating to phase 3 we have found that we can print reports directly
from our computers to the laser and have not been doing them on the Epson.

      Most of our orders are sent electronically, so not really any need to
print purchase orders.
      Hope this helps.

      Sandy

      Gang --

      I'd like to elaborate on this question (I think it is following the
same thread) from William (below)

      Our library is a medium sized public library, and Tech Services has
four full-time staff that all share tasks of copy cataloging on a state
union catalog, item data entry on our local automated system (soon to be
III), acquisitions, materials processing, and ILL. We are having cataloging
training next week, going online with circ at the end of Oct, and online
with acq in December. Not having been through the training is making it hard
to get equipment orders together for the new system. Our trainer has been
very helpful, but there is nothing like the wisdom of experience from the
field. 

      How do Millenium libraries handle printing spine labels for
cataloging, workslips for acq, and reports for ILL, all from the same staff
desk? Do you share different types of network printers for each of the types
of paper/label stock? Or does each staff person have several printers -
besides the purchase cost how do you get enough desktop space? 

      We've been trying to imagine several different scenarios, and so far
are thinking that maybe each staff person keeps one of the workhorse Okidata
Microline workstations connected to the individual PC for spine label
printing. And then use a networked system laser printer for whole sheet
printing, like acq workforms. 

      Are any Millenium libraries using Okidata Microline printers for
cataloging spine label printing?

      What do you use for acq workslip printing?

      How do you handle multitask workstations, esp with regard to printing.

      Thanks in advance for your comments, suggestions and advice.

      Paul

      For acquisition, serials control, e-reserves, we may use local 
      printer, instead of system printer. 

      How about Mil cataloging: should we do as FAQ asks: "sheet labels 
      can be printed only on a laser system printer", or can they also be 
      printed using local printer?

      Any experience? Good idea? Thanks.
