Always answer the phone in a professional manner using an appropriate greeting, such as Rickman Library, this is Heather, or Rickman Library, How may I help you?
To transfer a call:
NOTE: If transferring a call to another extension within the library, you MUST dial the extension manually...it will not work to push the transfer button and then push the button beside the person's name that you wish to transfer the call to.
