Program: Shipping and Receiving

Program Description:

In FY 2008-2009, Shipping and Receiving processed a very large quantity of materials and is one of our primary contacts with the outside world.

Come and hear more from John about what the Shipping and Receiving Department does for the Library, get an explanation of Shipping and Receiving’s daily schedule for mail and express services and learn how you can best work with his department to meet your goals.

Additionally, John will discuss various types of mail, explain the differences between various mail carriers, and review online information resources available that Shipping and Receiving uses on a daily basis.

An extensive handout from the presentation will be available.
