Since the DVDs have been moved to open shelving and we do not yet have new security gates (they’re in the building but there’s a delay in getting them installed) we must do due diligence when people set off the gates. Do not respond to gate alarms by asking ‘do you have a laptop?’ We will have to check bags and backpacks when the gates go off – tell people who have laptops that set off the gates to use a different exit or they’ll face getting stopped every time the gates alarm. We’re sorry for the inconvenience and we acknowledge that you might feel awkward stopping people, but it must be, emphasis must be, done,

Closing tasks: whoever is working the closing shift at the circulation desk needs to make sure to lock the Equipment cabinets, lost and found cabinet, and headphones cabinets before leaving. The keys belong in the lock box and need to be returned to the lock box. The lock box should be closed and locked at the end of the night as well.

Headphones: there are two cabinets under the circulation desk stations that have headphones to be loaned to SDSU patrons. You will take their ID card and give them the headphones.
There are separate disposable headphones for community users that they can keep.

Restroom light: the restroom light in the circulation area is currently out of order as of 10:15am on Wednesday 8/30/17 and is being repaired.

Alma no longer generates receipts so we have to give out manual receipts when someone asks for one. The receipt books are in the horizontal file on the telephone desk where the Guest Card log is located. If someone brings in a replacement book, please please give them a manual receipt. Or if a faculty staff brings in payment for lost material – put $ in an envelope, put the envelope in the box in Troy’s office and write out a receipt.
