On October 12, 2011, the Support Staff Division of SCLA held its Annual Membership Meeting at the West Islip Public Library. We were very fortunate to have Detective Tom Gabriele and Detective James Crayne from the Suffolk County Police Department Outreach Bureau present their Identity Theft seminar. The morning was full of timely information on prevention and what to do if you become a victim of this pervasive crime. The Detectives provided each attendee with a booklet containing all the information from their PowerPoint presentation. They also answered questions from the audience. I, for one, left with some great tips to make it more difficult for Identity Thieves to victimize my information.
The winner of the shredder was Linda Guteres from the Longwood Public Library.
SSD would like to thank Director Andrew Hamm and the West Islip Public Library staff for hosting this successful meeting!

EXCEL TRAINING A BIG HIT!
On June 8, 2011, the SSD hosted an EXCEL Training Class in the new Training Room at the Suffolk Cooperative Library System. All twenty-four seats were filled and each participant had access to their own computer for an informative, hands-on experience. Angela, from Sharper Training Solutions, took the group step-by-step into the workings of Microsoft EXCEL 2007 providing the logic and steps behind each function. I felt that the two hours flew by leaving me eager for the next level of training!
Come back regurlarly to check for announcements of future trainings. Feel free to leave a comment suggesting programs you’d like to have scheduled for trainings. SSD is your Division – here to help you improve your skills and abilities!
2011 Long Island Library Conference
“Sharpen Your Memory, Sharpen Your Mind” was the presentation sponsored by the Support Staff Division of SCLA. Barbara Feinstein, MLS guided us on how to live healthy, happy and full lives with humor and practical tips. Over 160 attended the the presentation and received a handout of the workshop.
The Support Staff Division conducted a free raffle for a beautiful basket full of items to help one relax and wind down after a hectic day at the Conference. Thanks go to Ceil Prevete for designing the basket. Our winner was Brian Roach of the South Huntington Public Library.
2011 Annual Roundtable
The SSD Annual Roundtable was a success well attended by clerical plus business and adminstrative staff! Suggested topics were Sky River, ILLs, Self check-ins/outs, RFID, Social Networking to name a few. We had intended to have attendees switch seats to mix it up a bit but everyone was so engrossed in conversation we didn’t want to disturb them! Is this an idea to try for next year? It was wonderful to take part in the exchange of ideas and information between colleagues of the library world!
We wish to thank the Sachem Public Library for providing the venue for such a successful Roundtable experience. Please feel free to suggest topics for next year’s event in the comment section below. Also, check out the photos in our Flickr slideshow.
