Meetings & Absences

  •  All Library staff are expected to use the Outlook Calendar to notify others of meetings and absences.

    • Every team, group or committee meeting should be scheduled on the Calendar

    • All Library employees should check their calendars at least once a day in the morning;

    • All staff members should accept e-mail notification of calendar events.

  • All staff absences of a half day or longer should be added to the calendars of all library staff members (including librarians, staff members and computing services staff).

  • To allow others to check conflicts when setting meeting dates, staff members should also block out all absences (no matter what length the absence) on their individual calendars.

  • Staff members who regularly work during the weekend or at times other than the normal work week (8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday) should mark their calendar to block those periods of the normal work week when they are regularly out of the library. 

  • Any staff member who receives word of a colleague’s unplanned absence (for example, a sick day) should send an email notice to the rest of the Library staff using the LAWLIBALL listserv < LAWLIBALL@listserv.uga.edu >.
