[Michlib-l] Substitute Pools

[Deb Hemmye]

I'm on a TLN (The Library Network) committee that is looking into establishing a pool of substitute clerks and substitute librarians for our members. Do any of you have experience with establishing or using a substitute pool? Some of our early questions are: 


    * How and where do you hold the candidates' information (separate website, consortium or library website, something else)? 
    * What information do you find most helpful to know about each candidate? 
    * Are candidates vetted before becoming part of the pool? If so, who does this? Does vetting include a background check? 
    * How long does a candidate stay on your list or in your database? 
    * Are people ever removed from the list? How? Why? 
    * How many libraries/branches participate in your pool? 

Many thanks!
