Starting today, the Asian Collection is being moved to the 3rd floor, between the end of the HX call numbers and the beginning of Government Publications.

We need to notify anyone needing the Asian Collection that they may find their items on the 3rd Floor and that some items  from Gov Pubs  may now be in Compact Storage.

The target date for the move completion is the last day of classes.  We are doing this to expand the Chicana/Chicano Collection area on the first floor, provide for growth for the Asian Collection, and eventually, provide more study space on the first and third floors.

Hello Everyone,
2 or 4 hour reserve items that are checked out over night are normally due at the time we open. I adjusted the opening time in the system to an hour after we open. Please tell the student the due date time that is displayed at checkout. Do not add an hour to the time because it is confusing to the patron. There is a 1 hour grace period, but it will add a $2.00 fine if it is 1 minute late pass the due date. So again, please just notify the patron of the due date displayed at checkout.

Thank you,
Troy

Please checkout any equipment you plan on using during your shift or away from work. Items are going missing and we have no idea where they are. We are currently missing two Mac Book Chargers. If you have one please bring it back.

Have a great day!

The toilet was clogged and the plummer reported paper towels being the issue. Please don’t do that.

Have a great day!

Jessie reported that some of the items on our hold shelf have the author of the book on the tag instead of the patrons name. If you can’t find an item on hold, please search the shelf for the title of the book.

Effective immediately, we have changed the email address for wireless printing from goprint@library.sdsu.edu to sdsu-library@printspots.com. This was done to address the slowness of wireless printing. Physical and digital signage is being updated to promote the new email address. The old address will continue to work for the next couple of months, but will no longer be promoted.

Received a call from campus police informing us that a Porsche Key is at the Bookstore lost and found. The Key will be there until Tuesday and will then be picked up by campus police.
