Conversion Planning
Conversion Suggestions
A conversion coordinator should be designated to direct and monitor the conversion
effort.
The coordinator should have a method for tracking conversion status, training operators,
and managing the logistics of conversion.
Don’t crowd the conversion area.
Conversion cannot proceed if multiple D1 tags are sensed
or if the operator position/location is crowded.
Use two-person teams.
Use of two-person teams reduces errors and improves productivity.
One team member can move items while the other can do the actual conversion.
Frequent
task switching keeps both team members fresh.
Plan the overall material flow.
Use carts or other aids to move materials into and away from
the conversion station.
Plan the material flow to minimize library disruption.
For example, do one section at a time
and move the conversion station as needed.
Convert books that need to be returned to the shelves.
Convert all books that are returned
to or used inside the library before putting books back onto the shelves.
CAUTION
: Make sure the power cord does
not
present a hazard.
