A LibStaffer Success Story
LibStaffer checks against other schedules, busy time in Outlook, and your scheduling and availability rules for each staff member to tell you if they can be scheduled for a shift.
In the multi-schedule viewer, you can overlay up to eight schedules at once to get a holistic view of your library's schedule.
Each staff member gets a default view of their upcoming schedule, including approved time off.
Boston Public Library LibStaffer Success
LibStaffer: a manager-friendly scheduling solution.
Boston Public Library is our largest LibStaffer installation and their feedback has been instrumental in shaping the tool. They acquired LibStaffer in 2016 to take on the challenge for scheduling staff at 24 branch locations. Gianna commented,
We were looking for one central scheduling system to replace an outdated system we had that most departments were not using, and was not web or mobile accessible. We have 24 branches and multiple public service departments in the Central Library that juggle reference desk, information desk, and circulation desk schedules. Some departments were still using paper schedules pinned to bulletin boards.
Others were using random free web calendars that no other department could access. As a manager, there was no place where I could look to see if a certain staff person was in or out on a given day, or where in the building he/she was at a given time. Now, at least, most public service departments are using LibStaffer and it’s great.
