Forms

When the library makes the switch from Google to MS 365, this blog will disappear.  There will be a replacement site hopefully available before the entire staff switches to MS 365, but in the interim, all forms and information currently available on the blog will be moved to the shared (S:) drive under Training.  This will be near the bottom of the list, and is not the same as the SD&T part of the drive.  

All forms and information sheets will be converted back to their original formats (Word, Excel, PowerPoint) which will make them easier to access as no download is required.  We will keep you updated on the location of all current documents, and look forward to trying out the new format for sharing information.

Please reach out to SD&T if you have questions or can't find something.

For questions about forms and procedures, please contact training@prattlibrary.org.
