- Create lists
- from Bruce:
- create lists function. As a group, do we need to do a list cleanup, purchase the capacity for more lists, or take some other action in the near future? I am wondering because I have had a couple of instances now where I have been told there were no empty lists available, and I am not sure that everyone in there knows to empty a list, mark it "done", or surrender ownership of a list when they are done. I have heard variations on a loosely-understood set of rules for sharing the lists (both between the universities and within a department), which makes me wonder if it is only a matter of getting everyone who uses the lists back on the same page re: proper use and sharing.
- from Tim:
- Too often the really big lists are not being cleared. We also recently had one of our lists overwritten. I have a fairly good idea who did it but it's all circumstantial. Thus Ed Harris and I decided not follow it up. My understanding from our head of tech services, Cindy Schofield is that the lists created should be promptly downloaded to Excel or whatever program you are using and then the original search should be deleted. Maybe the systems librarians should take the lead by writing clear guidelines and policing compliance for a couple of months to make sure it becomes second nature to follow the procedure. Say a standard email that goes to all who leave lists up longer than whatever limit we set. Of course there should be consultation with our tech services divisions.
