- Every LTS procedure has a "keeper" -- usually that staff member who originally drafted the document. Each LTS procedure will be reviewed at least once each year by the keeper of the procedure. The procedure keeper is responsible for keeping the content and linkage of the text up-to-date.
- Procedures that are limited to work in Voyager need be reviewed only after the library has implemented an upgrade to the entire Voyager system. Those procedures will be reviewed for accuarcy after the upgrade.
- The LTS Procedures Maintenance Team, which will initiate and monitor regular updating of the contents of the LTS site, will also act as watchdogs to ensure that all procedures are kept up-to-date, prompting procedure writers to review their work and submit revisions as LTS practices change. Procedure keepers will be notified one month in advance of the due date for review, by members of the Procedures Maintenance Team.
The Procedures Maintenance Team will maintain a spreadsheet outlining when each procedure is due for review and tracking updates of the procedures as they occur.Anchor #D4 #D4 - Either the Documentation Coordinator or keeper of the procedure will notify staff of the change or update by way of an email message to lts-l@cornell.edu, or to the staff involved if the procedure serves only a small number of staff. It is the responsibility of individual supervisors to ensure that staff read and understand the announcements.
