Here are the notes from the chat. Not sure how long they will stay in Skype or if everyone could see them….

[3/20/2020 12:05 PM] Arno, Brett C:

There's 19 connected that should be full staff correct?

[3/20/2020 12:06 PM] Sootheran, Linda M:

Linda is testing this

[3/20/2020 12:06 PM] Clarke, D. S:

Linda, I see your chat.

[3/20/2020 12:10 PM] Lombardi, Gina:

Hi all im doing much better and interested to learn more today

[3/20/2020 12:11 PM] Bahr, Ellen J:

Thanks Gina :)

Governor’s order takes effect Sunday evening. All non‐essential employees must stay home in New York State Could Deb collect a central list of current cell numbers?

Was there a time limit, as in until the end of the month, or indefinitely?

[3/20/2020 12:18 PM] Bahr, Ellen J:

I can’t find a timeframe

[3/20/2020 12:20 PM] Lounsberry Meehan, Laurie:

I assume we'll need to have someone in the library at times to be able to assist with scanning requests?

Do we think that people would be able to stop in to get material as needed, like maybe once a week or so?

I assume at least a few of the librarians and/or staff will be classed as essential personnel?

[3/20/2020 12:21 PM] Bahr, Ellen J:

For the governor essential only means health workers, grocery stores etc

Will there be any repercussions if we do come on campus, such as liability issues?

A couple of practical things: Can we create a centra list of cell phone numbers, can everyone leave a vacation message on their phone today, and can we get a count of how many laptops we need

Linda ‐ info from article online: Non‐compliance by businesses may result in fines or summonses; at this point, there are no legal consequences for individuals but crowds violating the new orders will be broken up.

[3/20/2020 12:25 PM] Arno, Brett C:

I'm going to talk to ITS about the possibility of forwarding phones to cell phones if people would prefer that as an option. I'm not sure if it's possible but I'll try to get an answer.

[3/20/2020 12:26 PM] Bahr, Ellen J:

Thanks Brett

[3/20/2020 12:27 PM] Bahr, Ellen J:

I’d like to hear from Brett about capabilities of laptops that people may be taking home today… in an ideal world we would reconfigure them first but there may not be time

[3/20/2020 12:29 PM] Bahr, Ellen J:

Is it possible to come into the building tomorrow if we can’t do everything today?

Or even Sunday…

I'd encourage folks to also take home any professional development books/articles to be reading and to look for online courses and professional development that could be done from home

I can be developing some archive‐related projects for some people to work on from home, if needed

[3/20/2020 12:38 PM] Arno, Brett C:

We are certainly going to need a tech support plan whether it's through Systems or ITS

[3/20/2020 12:39 PM] Bahr, Ellen J:

Brett, do you want to talk a bit about the laptops and what’s possible today?

Weren't we told that folks could take home their PCs if needed?

[3/20/2020 12:44 PM] Romanchock, Mechele C:

Times sheets?

ONe more suggestion!

Take home some basic supplies like pads of paper or pens, etc.

[3/20/2020 12:53 PM] Bahr, Ellen J:

And your plants :(

And pet fish?

[3/20/2020 12:54 PM] Smith, Mark A (Scholes):

Even my plastic ones??
