Case Study: William Paterson University streamlines library scheduling and staff communication with Teamup Calendar

Peer-Reviewed Academic Article Praises Teamup

William Paterson University's Cheng Library, specifically its Lending Services department led by Professor Sarah E. Hughes, faced challenges with inefficient staff scheduling and communication. The existing process relied on paper calendars and weekly emails, which were time-consuming to manage and failed to effectively share up-to-date information with a diverse staff working varying shifts.

The library implemented a Teamup Calendar to create a centralized, web-based solution. The Teamup Calendar used color-coded sub-calendars for different functions, allowed for easy creation of recurring events, and was shared with customized access levels for full-time and part-time staff. The result was a streamlined process that provided staff with a complete, accessible agenda, leading to 100% positive feedback in a staff survey and increased confidence in daily operations. Teamup became a powerful tool for enhancing communication and efficiency.
