TO: MBCAP Staff

FROM: Bill Chamberlin

Bold indicates a new thing on the list or something to pay attention to otherwise. Order of names simply indicates who is in charge of the office if no one above them is in.

I. Rachel

Rachel. Please make sure that I can review neutral statements to go out. Do the neutral statements as your very first priority.

Please let me know the first day you are back to work. Do we have any Aug or Sept. office birthdays?
set up Gabriella. But she should not have card swipe yet. She is volunteer only and I want to see how she handles things. Also try not to leave her along for a few weeks.
Work with Donna on whatever we need to do for finances.
Please start to work on AEJMC reimbursements. I have a few things at home I need to give you.
Please make sure student papers from AEJMC get to Craig Lee, Boaz, and Courtney. This gets the list onto college website, college records and publications, and our own website. Also the material I sent you over the weekend.

B.Rachel, in the data base, we have not had arkansas email open records. It was curious because we have everything else. Please see if one was rated, even a null. Use Nissa if you need to in order to find capsule. Then get score and capsule to Kristen. There is neither on the website. Rachel, Dawne said we did this but I have no idea until someone tells me. Please check to see if done. Either me or any student can show you how to find out. If it is missing, then get together with Kristen. Dawn said its done.

You should have I am going to get you a file marked SPJ. Please help me sort this out. I will need to explain some things. Dawne said she couldn’t figure out the file alone and I didn’t expect her to. I looked through this file and couldn’t make heads or tails of it alone. There may be things in it that are I did show it to Rachel and said there were some expenses in there that may be reimburseable, I said hold on to this and you would get with her. Let’s do this as soon as we can.
We need to talk about putting up display of diagram.

D.I have done what I need to do to mark the medical leave spots. Please record and work with Cheryl to put on line. Then please show me how to do it on the MyUFL. Please fix up my annual leave as gone the first two days of this week, all of the week before that, and Friday the week before that. Do you need to catch up now on medical leaves? They are all in calendar. Do you need me to go back and copy? I know I need to fix some things up here. We looked for those in the calendar but all the color was gone. I told her if we had time we would go through day by day and get this together. We talked to Cheryl about it, Cheryl said it could be done by you on MyUFL or we could still do it by hand and she would enter them. Let’s talk about this the way we did on Friday about MyUFL.

organizing our Brechner Reports. Dawne said: I got the last year and a half as you asked and Brian was going to put them in a binder for you. Please follow up. This is another relatively easy task that we need to get behind us.
Building our shelves. Stay on top of this regularly, Rachel. Contact him maybe twice a week until we get this done. Nicely but persistently. Work on the carpenter this week. I emailed Sean and he said he would be on it. There may be trouble with the color choice for the wood. It may have to be bought raw and stained, he said he was booked solid and staining would be an issue maybe.
I need to know where the disk is that have my old email that was cleaned off during the summer. Please check with Kristen to see if she has it. Work with me and Arlindo to delete email and copy other email onto disk. See me about deleting and organizing my email. I thought someone, either Arlindo or Zane had looked at this, determined it had to be done off the large server because you had too many to work off of from your computer at the desk. Dawne: I told them you wanted prior to 2002 off on a disk (or two) as a group, then the remaining would be categorized for removal at a later date. I guess that hasn’t happened yet??? Rachel: I need to know where the disk is that has the earlier material.
Please let us start work on the filing I am giving you.
Ordering furniture. The shelves comes first. Then the counter/table we were discussing. Then the chairs.
You need to add to annual report for next year, thesis, for Wes Brewer, “The Secret Lives of Government Documents.” You know where these go now, right? Dawne: These things are saved in a folder for Rachel. Please make sure you know where this is and enter these as you can.
Good work on cleaning up the office. clean up and make neat the front office. We will continue to work on this. I need to be checked before anything is thrown away. It is certainly first a working office, but it needs to look like a professional office.
See me about looking for state law materials among our boxes.
Please go through all resource pages on the website and make sure we have in the office copies of all of the new publications and all of the newsletters. Work with Brian or Kristen? Courtney can explain to you what I mean. See me and Dawne to find our old stuff. but if it has been published in the last two years we don’t have it unless it is on the shelfs in the front part of the office.
Please talk to me about getting my office desktop at home and home desktop at office.

K.We need to talk about putting up display of diagram.

L.Ordering furniture. We didn’t have money for this that I could see so I never ordered chairs.

Please talk to me about Loislaw. I will explain when we talk.
Mounting the teaching mission statement. I never found my paper at home that matched your award paper. From Rachel: I mentioned to Rachel when I took her over to the Reitz that there was a frame shop there at Reitz and you needed an award reframed. She should look into doing that there as it was easily accessed.
Arranging for a message service on our bulletin board (see me about this).

O.Please talk to me about getting my office desktop at home and home desktop at office. I believe this may be bigger than me. That’s okay. We can start talking about it first. Now, you could work with Zane to do the office part of both of us, and get specific instructions for how to get the home part.
