Introduction
The centralization process of the Document Supplies Services (DSS) started in 2008. During the process a restructuring of the tasks performed by the staff was made. This centralization allowed the library staff to diversify their work and invest this time in other projects that were being starting (training plan, social networks, Infosalut.com, etc.).
Objective
The objective of this centralization was to democratize and centralize the access and most relevant information management at a single point available both on the Bibliosalut webpage and the linksource tools on the different databases.
Method
We decided to use the management system GTBib-SOD, a form to requests documents was integrated in a linkresolver and different procedure were created to manage the different tasks related with de DSS, to divide the work and establishing different timetables to attend this service, thanks to that the library staff were not all their journey dedicated to this service.
Results
Request time during 2018 was of 1.05 days for users request documents, and 0,06 for libraries request documents. Thanks to a satisfaction survey in 2015, we know that this service is greatly appreciated by the users, since the score obtained was 8.81. The number of requests was raising constantly until 2016, then started to decrease significantly in 2017.
Conclusion
The timetable made to manage the DSS allowed the staff not to work all the time on this service, and dedicate more time to other tasks.
During 2018, the response time during 1.39 days for positive response to the users; and 0.08 days for other libraries. We think that this proves that, thanks to good time management, it is possible to coordinate this service correctly, and in this way, diversify tasks of the virtual library staff
