Daily Bookings – reserve media and equipment

BOOKING MAINTENANCE – MILL CIRC
Daily Bookings – a reminder that reserve media and equipment are both bookable. They can be sorted by location to make it easier to view booking lists for the day ahead.
* View daily bookings – sort by location – equipment (mmce); media on reserves(mmcs)
* Main is the default location; start date is today; click DISPLAY, highlight all notices, print slips to view daily report (printing is optional)
* Check equipment closets for booking slips and availability of equipment
* Print slips as needed
* Attach individual slips to requested equipment, and set aside in designated areas
* Follow up as needed with overdues to insure availability of equipment and media; right-click to view item details and status

New borrowing web page

main_interiorAs you may have noticed – we have an exciting new borrowing page!
Please refer our borrowers to these pages for questions about borrowing. Loaded with good info! 🙂
In addition, the Library has a new home page for quick and easy access to research resources.
Use the new LIS home page for questions about LIS things beyond research and borrowing.
The Help and Support pages can help you find all things Helpdesk and Media Services related.
The website is very intuitive, and has really good search functionality, but please take a little time on your next shift to familiarize yourself with these resources so that you can better assist our borrowers with questions.
Tell us what you like – and don’t like! Please direct comments and feedback about the new website to this link.
Thanks!
