Month: February 2017

There is tax preparation assistance available in the northwest corner of the Library Computing Hub (the corner next to Build IT) every Friday from 02/17/17 until 04/14/17 (except 03/31/17–the week of spring break). The hours of operation will be 12 pm to 6 pm. While they will accept walk-ins, clients with appointments will receive priority.
There are handouts available on top of the desensitizers

Just FYI, the book-eye scanner on the 1st floor by the Chicano Collection is out of order.

Users who want to return their checked out Library books are being confused by incomplete or vague instructions. Users are putting their books on some random book truck and causing all kinds of problems…

Be EXPLICIT when telling people where to return books – tell them EXACTLY where they can find a book return, like ’20 paces down this hallway, on the right, you should see a book return on the wall. It says Book Return’. Or ‘out that door in the Dome, just to the right before the stairs’. We’ll see about putting up a sign in the Donor Hall, but until then please be clear in your instructions.

There’s a special competition for V-Day and the entry box is on a little table right next to the Circ desk entrance. Copies of the ‘hard copy’ of the drawing are piled next to the entry box. Handouts with more info are available up at the desk

All returned Course Reserve books must be put on the Reserve return truck immediately. Do not hold books at the desk, even if someone plans to come back for it after turning it in. It takes literally 4 seconds to put a returned Course Reserve book on the book truck, so please do so even if you are taking care of a line

Valuable items have not been added to the L & F Valuable log.

If  the reason why items are not being logged in is that there aren’t any blank forms in the Valuables Log, next time go to the Master Forms binder to get a copy of the form, take it to the copier and run off a bunch of copies. You can’t NOT log in valuables.

The black three-ring Master Forms binder is in the bottom drawer of the main Circ desk (phone desk).
