Please be aware of some location changes in the library.

Newspapers are now on the 3rd floor in the open seating area.

Current periodicals are located on the 5th floor and are shelved with the bound periodicals by call number.

(there aren’t any Periodicals on the 1st floor of the Library Additions)

Asian collection is also on the 3rd floor. Chicano collection will be moved to where the Asian collection used to be located, across from the Marsh Room (special collection room)

The Asian collection has officially been relocated to the Northwest side of the 3rd floor.

The collection starts at the end of our Monograph Collection HX’s.

We are getting referrels from Build-It regarding some specialized kits that can be checked out here.

These are: SIK Guides – kit for the Spark/Fun Redboard

They’re shelved in Equipment cabinet #2, on the bottom shelf – look for orange label tape that says, ‘KIT #381″.

Pretty much if you get a request for equipment from someone coming from Build-It, this will probably be it.

CSU+ and Circuit both circulate for 60 days with NO renewals allowed.

A Supervisor can change the due date and add a few days to CSU+ loans, but only in certain circumstances.

We don’t know if we can do the same for Circuit, so don’t offer to patrons yet.

There was a fake active shooter threat message being sent around to students at SDSU on the morning of March 8, 2018. The SDSU police discredited the threat and the person who sent out the original message has been apprehended by the police.

The SDSU Police offical statement is:

“There is no threat to San Diego State University. University police officers were notified of an individual making threats on campus this morning. Officers have removed the individual, who is not affiliated with SDSU, from campus.”

Hello All,

There have been two identified community users who have been cut off from receiving earbuds. I am sure there are more but these are the only two we are aware of. If you know more please let a supervisor know.

First: Hispanic woman, “pock marked” face, dark hair, fairly short and stout. She usually wears floral/brightly colored blouses or dresses and her strap is constantly falling off her shoulder. She is usually accompanied by a portly white male wearing a ball cap. They both carry backpacks.

Second: African American woman, thin, average height, very short curly natural brown hair. Excessively torn oversized clothing, often grey sweatpants with a grey long sleeve shirt.

Hello All,
Heads up for those who did not know, headphones (not earbuds) are now to be checked out to patrons with a REDID, we are no longer holding REDID cards as collateral. Earbuds are still given to only community users but be aware of how many times you are giving the same user earbuds, too many users are abusing the privilege.

This morning at around 10:20 am a girl came to my office and said she had lost her bus pass. I was kind of confused, but she was wearing a backpack and looked college-age, so I wasn’t sure if she was a new library hire and knew Circ had a lost and found. She was telling me how she had to sleep at a Starbucks last night and she had $72 on her bus pass and she’s a freshman who lives off campus. So, I checked the lost and found, but there was no bus pass. I gave her the Lost and Found phone numbers list and said she could call our desk to see if it’s turned in later or any of the other numbers. She said ok and then walked back down the hallway. I followed and she was standing in ILL. I asked if she works in the library and she said no but Public Safety had told her to come here. I said ok they probably said come to the Circ desk, but this is a staff only area. I directed her out the swinging door and she said I could trust her because she’s a singer/model/actress and Michael Jackson’s niece. She was trying to show me her Facebook page on her phone and said 2 professors follow her page and she is performing on campus in 2 weeks. I said ok good luck with your bus pass and backed away. She was repeating her name is Wendy Prescott Jackson and she’s 15 years old and Latoya’s daughter and was holding up a picture of Latoya Jackson. I went back to my office to call Bill and she walked over to Lexi and said I didn’t help her and she was looking for her bus pass. Lexi checked and it wasn’t there so she walked out of the dome. Description: Female, 5’3″, thin build around 100 lbs, black shoulder-length straight hair, pink knitted beanie, brown eyes, African American. Pink backpack, jeans, a gold cross necklace. I checked Alma and there’s no patron by that name. I also closed the door from the Donor Hall to Stack Maintenance. -Claire
