Event Name:
The Unified Desk-Customer Service at Its Best
Competency:
Customer Service and Communication
Description:
Can circulation staff and librarians coexist? Can you manage the fact that the public thinks ALL library staff are librarians? Is it possible to exchange ego for an expanded library experience?
In this webinar I will challenge library staff to remove the barriers and hierarchy that separate staff at the expense of the customer. We will explore opportunities where library clerks and librarians work side by side to provide a more holistic customer service experience.
Learning Objectives:
