Remember our staff wiki?  It's been a while since we've used it, but I've recently updated it.  If you haven't visited in a while, you may want to take a look.  All the librarians should have an account, so please feel free to add information about procedures, best practices and faqs you feel other library staff would find useful.  If you're unsure whether or not you have an account, let me know.
