Headcount:

Beginning a half hour after the library opens, and continuing each hour at the half hour, the Student Assistant working the floor is to count the users in the library. The Student Assistant is to count users in the various rooms and locations of the library, as indicated on LibInsight. It is important to record this data once an hour, every hour to understand our traffic. If you forget to take headcount at the half-hour, take it as soon as you remember.

If you are working by yourself and you need to take the count, put up the “We’ll Be Right Back” sign.

To minimize errors with the iPad and LibInsight, refresh the browser before you begin to take the headcount. If you do not see the green “Success” bar display after submitting the headcount, use one of the circulation computers to enter the information in LibInsight.

Charge the iPad at the end of each day.
