TBLC has added a new *optional* feature to our workshop
registration process.

In some libraries, supervisors or training coordinators may need to
approve staff attendance at workshops. To do so, they may register
the staff themselves, or the staff member might have to wait for
approval before signing up.

Now, through our new *optional* registration approval process, staff
can sign up for a class and secure a spot, and then his/her supervisor
will be notified and can approve or decline the registration.

It works like this:

- Library staff member John Smith completes the online registration
form
- If there are available spots at the time he registers, he secures a
slot in the class
- If there are no available spots, he gets his place in line on the Wait
List
- As soon as he completes registration, an email is sent to the
supervisor or person designated to approve
- The email notifies the approver that John Smith has registered for
X class, and provides a link to the description of the class
- It asks if the approver would like to approve or decline the
registration and provides a link to click on for each process
If the approver approves the registration, everything will stay the
same; John still has his slot in the class or on the Wait List
- If the approver declines the registration, John will be removed from
the class and will receive an email informing him that the approver
has declined his registration and he has been removed from the
class.
- If the approver takes no action in response to the email, John
retains his place in the class or on the Wait List

Sending registrations through the approval process is entirely up to you.
This is institution-wide, so if you choose to do this it will apply to all staff
members from your institution who register for workshops.

To participate in our approval process, please have the person at
your library who will approve registrations contact Vikki Mclean at
mcleanv@tblc.org, or fill out and submit the form below. You may also
use the below form to remove your library from our approval process.
