We don’t really supply people with scratch paper, however we do have a pile of full-sized paper that has been printed on one side that we’ve put down at the end of the desk.
I’ve heard some SAs recommend taking paper out of the printers in Reference, and that is NOT appropriate.
If students want clean copy paper, they need to go and buy some, but I don’t mind giving them our cast-offs if they truly just need some scratch paper.

Reserve and 'ask-at-desk' DVDs
Going through the returned DVDs I saw one Course Reserve DVD and one ‘Ask-at-Desk DVD.
The Course Reserve DVDs have a yellow sticker on the spine that clearly says ‘ON RESERVE’.
These DVDs are shelved in the unit just under the digital clock – if the DVD is in a yellow case, it is kept in the DVD cabinet in one of the top two drawers.
The ‘Ask-at-Desk’ discs are the more expensive or hard to replace titles and have (or will have soon) a light blue sticker across the spine that says, ‘Please return to Circulation Desk Location: Circulation Desk Media.
These DVDs are kept in the drawers of the DVD cabinets by DVD number.
Please DO NOT put DVDs with either of these stickers on the DVD return shelf.
Logging users out
If you have a user log into their SDSUid account on one of our computers in order to place a hold etc, YOU MUST LOG THEM OUT, or the hold request for the next user will automatically be placed in the name of the last user, causing hate and discontent not to mention a lot of confusion
