Gone FISHin: Maintaining Good Customer Service and Job Satisfaction during Times of Change and Transitions
Di Trolio, Trudi; Nelson, Erika; Ochoa, Marilyn
Journal of Access Services, v2 n1 p3-10 2004
The George A. Smathers Libraries of the University of Florida is currently undergoing a major renovation. Library West, the building that houses the humanities and social sciences collection, will be gutted and expanded. The collection will be moved to off-site storage and the staff will be relocated for a two-year period. The reality of these changes has created a feeling of anxiety and uncertainty, especially in the Access Services Department. FISH is a customer service tool that has been adopted by the UF Libraries because it ensures a positive attitude for staff in their daily work. A FISH committee is in place and many morale-boosting activities have been scheduled. The FISH committee will be challenged during the next two years to meet the morale needs of the staff.
