Course Reserve for class Chicana/Chicano Studies 355, prof. Bolivar, Maria:

The book Magical Urbanism (HT 156 D83 RBR 2000) is not attached to the professor’s name or the course. A student asked for the book and I had to look it up in Sierra to find the call number. The student said the professor told her to just ask the desk and they can find the book on the shelf for her, even though it not attached to her class. Maybe we can just attach the book to her class and name?

A patron called and said she dropped her friend’s course reserve in the book drop on the south side of the Love library (the open air theater side). I instructed the patron to have her friend come in and fill out a fine appeal form once the fine is generated. I forgot to ask for the name of the patron to put some sort of note in the record, so this can be documentation that the patron did call today. CDC

At around 10pm, Jose in 24hours Department contacted the circulation desk that someone accidentally sprayed pepper spray by the sofas in front of 24hrs desk. When I got there, the Patrons had cleared out the area, and moved to other locations around 24hrs area. Jose and I positioned two fans from the circulation desk in the area to diminish whatever residue of pepper spray was left. By the time I got there it wasn’t too strong, but as a precaution we use the fans to dilute whatever was left of the pepper spray.

Past library fines that were sent to Cashiers, but were not processed because of errors have now been uploaded. Students may call with questions about past fines they are now being billed for. Just let them know that we know the billing is showing up late, but the money is still owed and can be paid at the cashiers office.

Elevator one is also down for the week. 2, 3, and 4 are supposed to be functioning, but both the guard and a couple of our 5th floor employees reported that it is not functioning when called. I called this in to Facilities and notified administration.

Shayla called in sick and isn’t feeling well.

Bill and Claire quickly responded to a call from Reference yesterday when a female patron passed out.  (She was OK, refused to go to the hospital, but much better after some time passed.)   After reading today’s Police Media report, I have to suspect that heat is taking its toll on a number of folks on campus.  To all:  keep cool and drink water!  To those of you who take such good care of our patrons:  THANK YOU!
