IRRI Library Staff Compiles SOPs

The IRRI Library Staff have been writing and compiling standard operation procedures (SOPs) employed in the conduct of their respective jobs. These SOPs have been available for some time but they are scattered, incomplete and lacks organization. Some are even out of date. On the last day of the LDS team building workshop held in Baguio City last June, 2010, the staff took it upon themselves to sit down and work on updating the SOPs. After undergoing editing and revisions by the library supervisors and the Chief Librarian, these are now available to IRRI staff on campus in print at the Library and in electronic formats at this link http://shareportal/sites/lds/Lists/Announcements/Attachments/40/LDSSOPs2010.pdf
This document may be used for orienting new staff and for management to seek better and more efficient ways of accomplishing a given task. Suggestions for the improvement of the SOPs are welcome.
