FAQ:  How to Process an ACLS Book


Checking out an ACLS, BLS, or PALS book is one of the most frequent requests we get, besides "What's my password?" Below are the steps to follow to complete this process.

Step 1:
·        Ask when their class is scheduled
o   If the class is within a week, explain that they need to come and pick the book up at the Library
§  127 South Davis Ave., Columbus
§  Opening hours:  8 a.m.-9 p.m., Monday-Thursday/8-5 Friday
o   If the class is two weeks or more, tell them we can send it through interoffice mail to their hospital location
Step 2:

·        Check to see if they have a Library account before making a new one
o   If they need a Library account, use the guide at the Front Desk to make one
o   If they have one, change expiration to one year from today's date
o   Confirm that they are in the same hospital location and unit – if not, update with new info
Step 3:

·        After making the account, tell them the following:
o   That the book will be sent through interoffice mail and should arrive at their hospital site within 10 days
o   That that they will receive an e-mail confirming the interoffice delivery
o   That they can use the same envelope to send the book back to us
o   Ask if they have any questions
o   Now you can say thank you and finish the call
Step 4:

·        Once you are off the phone, do the following steps:
o   Very Important **Check out the book they wanted, i.e. ACLS, BLS, etc.
o   Place it an interoffice envelope (bubble mailer) and label
o   Fill out label with hospital location, unit and client's name
o   Put envelope on Noreen's desk.  If she isn't here, put it on Kaitlyn's desk.
Tips:
·        Just act like client is standing in front of you when making the account – and relax!
·        If they are talking too fast, ask them to repeat the information, slow down – accuracy is very important!!!
