Open Calls
Open Calls are the Second Thursday from 11 am-noon. Log-in information will be added to the agendas on the week of the call. Contact Lori Hilterbrand if you have missed the log-in info, or contact Elizabeth Duell if you would like to be added to the RSF Discussion List to receive the agendas and other program information.
Below you will find agendas and recordings for RSF Open Calls. The RSF Team would like to invite you to attend our open calls if you work in resource sharing, access serivces and circulation, or any other services that fulfill loans, holds, bookings and requests.
Don’t be shy, but if you are….
We realize that bringing your question up in an open call can be a little intimidating (although we’re all very friendly and eager to interact). If you have a question or issue you’d like some help with but are not yet fully comfortable speaking in front of the group, use this Anonymous Ask form! Please don’t expect replies as it is completely anonymous, but , if the question or idea is intriguing, helpful or otherwise endearing, we’ll add it to our open call agenda and give it some discussion. Tune in for answers and *don’t be shy!*
