Benefits of a Checklist

In his book, The Checklist Manifesto, Atul Gawande espouses the advantages of using checklists.  Many hospital departments have implemented checklists to become more efficient and reduce errors. 

We all know the Library is not dealing with life and death situations, but we can also benefit from the Nightly Tasks sheet.  Even if you feel that you can do your tasks without one, please start using a sheet every night!  That way, you will be reminded to lock the laptop cabinet, turn off the TVs, shut the staff room door, etc.

The binder contains blank Task Sheets.  If you see that the supply is running low, go ahead and make more copies.   Also, feel free to suggest a new task or reminder to add to the Nightly Tasks sheet.  Noreen & Kaitlyn are always happy to hear your feedback.
