Hello Everyone,

All of the Dry Erase Packets have been changed to a 1-day checkout period. Also, everything that is circulated in the 24/7 Study Area and the Computing Hub has also been changed to a 1-day checkout.

Have a great day!

We’re in the process of adding yellow Loan Periods and Late Fees labels on all our major equipment kits. If you check-in any kits that don’t have yellow labels on them, please let me know so that I can add these on them.

Please drop off Mac laptops in my office if you check them in. IDT needs to install test-taking software on them.

Hi everyone,

As a reminder, there are a few places a DVD can be located:

1. DVD Collection- 1st floor Dome: These DVDs have no special labels on their exterior. If a patron returns them, they go on the marked shelf on the Hold shelf under the TV.
2. Circulation Desk Media: Both Beige sliding cabinets’ drawers. Light blue sticker on spine. In order by DVD number.
3. Course Reserve- 4 Hour- with Call Number as “DVD RESERVES”: they’re in order by the professor’s last name on the spine in the Top 2 drawers of the Left Beige sliding cabinet in Yellow cases.
4. Course Reserve- 4 Hour- with Call Number as DVD-#: they’re on the short shelves to the left of the beige cabinets with a yellow ON RESERVE sticker on the spine. They’re in order by DVD number.

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.

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.

I’ve placed a new fulfillment note for all the tripods that are currently checked out. Please drop them off in my office if you check them in – we need to make changes to the item record for these kits.

The Media equipment guide (the binder by the workstations) now has a section with reference guides for all the cables and adapters (the HDMI/USB/Mac adapters/Firewire/VGA bins in the cabinet.)

Feel free to refer to it when patrons ask to see what cables and adapters we have (instead of having to bring out all the bins.)

I’ll be going over it with everyone in person next week.

Note: This section of the binder is still a work in progress, so any feedback or suggestions to improve it are definitely welcome!
