Greetings to all,
WELCOME BACK
Hello Everyone!
I just wanted to take the time to welcome everyone back. As you get back into rhythm, please don’t be afraid to ask questions. If you have any doubts, please ask someone.
Have a great day!

ATTENTION FWS STUDENTS
Hello Everyone… if you have FWS please work with us to keep track of your allocation. Any amount submitted to peoplesoft over the allotted FWS will NOT be paid out. We are going to come up with a solution to keep track, but we would like you to also keep track as a back up. Below is Pete’s message to us.
FROM PETE
FWS Budget:
I will send a beginning student allocation each semester. You will need to keep track of the hours scheduled/reported to stay within the student’s allocation. Since this is no longer an end of the month process within my control, you will need to keep track of this in real time. You can never go over a student’s individual FWS allocation, the time sheet will not be paid out if there are insufficient FWS funds. You will need to let the student know when they are nearing their limit and instruct them when/how to split their shift if necessary between FWS and non-FWS position titles.
They should log in at the beginning of the shift to the correct position title. When they clock out for their shift, they will clock out of that first position title, then enter punch time for the next position title(s) within their shift. In these cases of multiple positions for one shift, the OUT punch time should be rounded, i.e. FWS OUT 11:00AM not 10:59AM, then Regular/non-FWS IN 11:00AM. But the final OUT punch time must be actual time; not rounded.
EOP Summer tutoring groups
Hello Team,
EOP on campus will have summer tutoring groups coming into the library twice a day at set times. They will be using the computing hub and the research services area. They will be using the Summer group logins that I mentioned in an earlier post. If there are any issues with this group please let me know.

Community Computer Registration begins Wednesday 6-13-18
Hello Team,
Starting Wednesday 6/13/18 we will start registering users using a registration software named Cybrarian. The software has been added to all of the computers. I have trained the staff and a couple of the students. There will be instructions for registering at the front desk. All of the previous passes we handed out will be deleted on Wednesday morning.
A few things to know:
1. We will need a photo ID to register new users. We will make exceptions for students who come in with their parents. If the user does not have a photo ID we CAN Not register them.
2. We will have single use passes for patrons coming in for one time access for things like printing concert tickets.
3. Users will get 2 hours per day. This falls inline with the other public libraries that give 2 sessions of 1 hour each per day. WE CAN NOT GIVE USERS MORE TIME.
4. Barcode/User names are not case sensitive.
Let me know if you have any questions or have anything to add.

Summer Changes
Hello Team,
There are a few changes I wanted everyone to be aware of.
Chicano Collection- The Chicano Collection is in Stack Maintenance during renovation. If a patron wants an item from the collection we will retrieve it. We will need a call number to retrieve the material, so instruct the patron on how to find the call number if they do not have one.
Cluster 9 Community Computer Changes- Starting next week we will be registering all of the community users. They will need a government ID for us to register them. Training on registration will start this week (6/5/2018) after all of the supervisors are trained.
Summer Groups- SDSU Conference services run programs all summer long for different groups. For groups that are in the dorms for longer than a week will receive library computer access in the research services area. Lists of the groups and the participants will be sent to me and I will print and place them at the center desk. To access the computers, the users will put in the computer name (White Label on the lower left of the monitor) and the password “Summer2018”.

Employment Date Reminder from Pete
Upcoming Library Projects
Book returns
A reminder that there may be patrons coming in this last week of finals with a lot of book returns (in some cases, even multiple bags with books). To avoid creating long wait times for other patrons who have quick check-ins/check-outs, we’ve placed a poster sign in front of the hallway next to the Circ desk letting patrons know that they have the option of returning books (not Course Reserves) in the Book Return bin down the hall. Please let patrons know that they have this option if the lines get long.
