Indeed! I hadn't even thought of multiple libraries in a system, since
I haven't yet worked in a system with branch libraries.
Is it ever the case that staff may be temporarily assigned to another
branch, not their home branch?
Are couriers thought of as assigned to a particular library, or are
I don't deal with Library Staff and coverage at all. But I know at
Princeton there are have been several instances where Librarians are
handling multiple branches, if even temporary.

Gotcha! My library is in a consortium as well, and there is a courier
service, although since we are such a small state, it is actually a
state-wide service, not just for our consortium.
My initial reaction is that the application I have in mind *could* be
used to set up a courier schedule, but
Sharon,
Thank you. While our application may be different, I am interested in
what you develop. Are looking at starting development immediately?
Please let me know your progress or if I can help in any way.

Yes, some do move between branches. When I worked at Houston Public only
central a few branches were open on Sunday. Staff from any of the
branches could work a Sunday shift at one of those open sites.
Sometimes a branch will close for a time due to a disaster or
renovations and the staff will be

move staff between our two branches we have to make sure that coverage
is there for the period

The absence of a lunch opportunity for the person covering lunches in
the smaller branch was, in fact, the great irony of the exercise. :)

Walter,
I got that impression from your post--hence my sarcastic response.
Pardon me for LOL while twirling around in my chair!

I'm a part-timer myself, so scheduling in lunch time had not occurred
to me. Thanks! We will include lunch and breaks. Travel time between
branches seems to me to be a little out of scope, though. I think I'm
going to leave that as a manual schedule tweak for now.

Hi All,
Been looking for a staff scheduling program too. I need additional
functionality:
- students should be able to trade shifts with each other
- we can easily publish the schedule of who's working
Anyone had any success with this?
BTW, Deb, do you know Barron Koralesky? Good friend of
Haven't thought about a schedule yet. This is a learning exercise for
me, to be squeezed in between a part-time job and two on-line classes
(Library Mgmt and Legal Bib). But I think the initial requirements
could be nailed down by the end of the month.

By publish I would like to be able to do one or more of the following:
1. publish a public version to a public web site so we can see who (which
person with which specific skills) will staff the desk
2. print out on paper
The shift swapping would be great so that our schedule coordinator
You might consider RSS syndication as a third possible means of publishing a
schedule, or rather, as an alternative to directly dumping HTML. Clearly it
would take more work than just generating a printout, but the
interoperability is sweet.

Of course! Notify me when the schedule changes. That's a must-have.
Publishing to a public website is a little problematic. Some of my
co-workers are a little squeamish about patrons having their full
names. The reasons are lost in the mists of time. If and when we have
a staff intranet, that
