Radio Information

MPL's floor space is over 123,000 square feet! And is considered the largest single floor library in the nation!

In order to effectively communicate with everyone we utilize radios. This part will explain how to use the radios and proper etiquette.

If at anytime your radios are not working properly, contact me (Edward Reyna) immediately so that I can either repair it or provide a replacement.

All departments should have radios and they should be ON and volume high enough to hear requests.

If you are experiencing any problems with your radios, please bring them by System Specialist Office with all accessories (charger, clip, etc.).

Radios are used to look for another employee or someone from a certain department.

First state something along the lines of "This is 'YOUR NAME' looking for..."
Then state either the name of the employee or the department you are looking for.
Once you get response back from the person/department, give them a brief description of what you need.
If you do not get a response right away, wait two to three minuets before requesting the person/department again.
If you are looking to speak to that person in great detail or on a personal level, inform them to contact you at a designated extension.

Each department should have a supply of radios.

If you are ever leaving the area of your department and on the clock, you should take a radio with you.

Once you are finished with the radio, turn the radio off and place back on charger.
