Ways You Can Use LibStaffer - Examples
By Desk Schedules - Reference/Circ
Assign student workers, pages, reference librarians, and circulation managers to a desk schedule. Shifts can overlap too if staffers' have a waterfall schedule and you can assign manager's to full-day shifts.
By Service Schedules - Chat Reference
Create a dedicated schedule for staffing your library's virtual chat reference service. Need to reschedule a shift due to an unexpected meeting or out sick? Swap and give up shifts right in the system from any device!
By-Floor/Zone Schedules
In a multi-floor or zoned building where you have multiple service points on different levels? Create schedules for each floor/zone or one big schedule and tag shifts by floor/zone.
By Branch/Campus/Building Schedules
Staffing multiple buildings, branches or campuses? Create schedules for each location and assign staffers accordingly. Create 'Manager' shifts overlap them if needed.
By Position - Staffers, Managers, etc.
Instead of creating schedules by place, create schedules by position. Build schedules for just managers, just workstudies, just reference librarians, or just pages. Shifts can be color-coded by desk or location.
By Event - Conference, Workshops, etc.
Is your library running a conference, workshops, or special event? Create Schedules by 'Event' so staffers know when they're working and where.
