New Equipment: Lighting Kit

We have a new lighting kit which includes 18 parts inside the case. The parts are numbered one through 18, making it easy to count them.

There is a lighting kit checklist form to the right of the lighting kit on the shelf in the wooden equipment cabinet. When you loan out the kit, you will take a checklist form, count the items with the borrowing patron, and then the patron will sign the form. The form will go inside the case.

When the kit is returned the following day (one-day loan period), the checklist form will be inside and the 18 parts will be counted and confirmed. The checklist form can be thrown out after the kit is checked in and cleared from the patron’s account. Please let me know if you have any questions.

Booked Equipment Shelf Moved Over to the Right

When you retrieve a piece of equipment in the cabinet, you will see that the spot for booked items are now on the right side for easier access. The conference phones are on the same shelf. The conference camera is on the shelf above. The student LCD projectors have more room on the left side shelves.

We have been given 2 more XA10 camcorders so we have four in our inventory. These are placed on the shelf below the booked shelf.

I have added a lighting kit and a couple of wireless mics. They are on the shelves, and ready for checkout. I will add detailed information on those items in the next blog.

 

Research Desk for spring

We’re back to our regular hours at the Research Desk as of today. Regular hours are:

  • Sunday: 1-5 and 7-10
  • Monday – Wednesday: 11-5 and 7-10
  • Thursday: 11-5
  • Friday: 11-4

Please send any research questions over to us! We’re happy to help. If you don’t see someone at the desk, simply call x5496 or write to us at http://go.middlebury.edu/askalibrarian. Or, walk over to our offices behind the desk!

In the fall, there were a few questions about when a research librarian would be available. Our hours are posted on the research assistance page at http://go.middlebury.edu/askus, but you also may write to us using the askalibrarian form. That’s the best way to reach all of us during off-hours; it sends an email to all librarians.

Let me know if you have any questions!
