Printer 203K back on line
Symquest has just finished checking over 203k and it’s has been cleared for printing. In this particular case all that was needed was a reboot. So if you see error service call F030:0264789 or it may be similar, and there are no supervisors here, the symquest technician ask that we try rebooting it first. The main power switch is on the upper right side, under a little gray door. So simply shut it off wait a little bit and restart. That should clear the problem, if not let Nancy or I know, so we can call Symquest.
ID’s needed at checkout
Since 3 books just landed on my library account, I would like to reinforce the policy of patrons having their ID cards when borrowing library items. It’s just too easy to type the incorrect keys when entering ID numbers. I would like patrons without ID’s to be referred to supervisors. I think we have become a bit too lax with this policy.
Thanks! Joanne
New carrels at Armstrong
Five new carrels arrived this morning! Students who were nearby during delivery were very excited to see them. The new carrels are on the first floor, lined up with the other carrels.
Changes yet to come: 1) Power and network will be installed (we left notes on the new carrels announcing this), and 2) The map cases will be moved a foot or so away from the carrels to give them more space.
Emergency Procedure and Response
At yesterday’s Armstrong Circ meeting, we discussed emergency procedure and responses.
Please review the Red Emergency Binder – there is one located at every Circ Desk.
Be sure that you are familiar with what to do in an emergency.
In an emergency, if you are a student employee working at a branch library when no staff supervisor is scheduled, please alert the supervisor at Main by calling X 5494 as soon as possible after responding to the emergency.
After the event, please email your supervisor with event details.
Music Library Blog Name Contest winner
Congratulations to Alena! We used a variation of her suggestion and the new name for the Music Library blog is “On That Note”. Check it out here.
J-term sign-up
Armstrong circulation students I’ve sent out in outlook a detailed schedule for J-term sign-up. It’s important you read this. Now that I’ve fixed my blog log in problem, I’ll only be using outlook for scheduling and sub issues in the future. Todd
Armstrong Group Study 159 can be reserved
Students, faculty and staff now may make reservations for Armstrong Group Study 159 (downstairs). In the near future, all Armstrong staff members will be able to take requests for group study reservations and place them in the calendar for the room. For now though, if you receive a request for a reservation, refer it to a supervisor (Nancy, Todd, or Carrie). We still have to iron out procedures and policies. We’ll share the procedures and policies when they’re done!
Thanks!
Carrie
