General update:
2 carrels left at Armstrong; none at Music; 4 at Davis.
Stacks/shelving look good, thanks to student staff shelvers.
Next Wed. 9/29 is “Map Giveaway Day” at Armstrong; Carrie sent a note to various interested depts. Event will be set up at the Armstrong Circ. Desk.
Patrons are having difficulties accessing eres in recent days; reasons for this vary (wireless, on or off campus, etc). Docutek and Ezproxy are partially problematic; databases have to be customized. Issues are in the midst of being resolved.
Reminder from Morgan to get rid of double check-in process for ILLs. Use initials to notate check-in.
Write an “f” on a fax to show a fax was successfully faxed.
Keep 2 LCD projectors at Armstrong. Makes sense to keep more LCDs at Davis.
New students need to review orientation list and check with supervisors if there are questions. All LIS student workers need to review ILL rules/procedures.
Film issues: Tom Moran has requested “On Ego” to be transferred to an archival DVD for more access; Scott Witt will handle it. Film schedule is at the CIrc. Desk for projectionists-they appreciate the hard copy when they arrive for their dvd/vhs/blu ray pickups.
Sunday seems to be the busiest night at LIS, with several students asking why Wilson Cafe is closed. They pointed out there is no other place on or off campus to buy a cup of joe, which they need since Sunday is a heavy study night. Many students are here for 5-6 hours. Midd Express, Grille, Sama’s are all closed.
Three-sentence email practice is proposed; an LIS goal? It is entirely optional, according to Dan.
“Intro to Loan Rules” shown by Dan in Millennium; plenty of info under “admin, parameters, circulation.” Good stuff!
Thanks, Janine!
