Hi all, during this busy stressful week a reminder that 4 hour loaner laptops and power cords can not leave the library. Please remind patrons checking these out that they are to be used in the library. The great hall is not part of the library.

Ode to the Library
Have you seen the ode to the library yet? Nice job Darryl! Is that Thao in the Stacks? Elise at the desk? Spot anyone else you know?
Ethernet cables at Armstrong.
Armstrong’s Ethernet cables have arrived and are in the reserve section. The box for keeping the IDs is just above the Ethernet cables. As posted, a middlebury ID (nothing else) must be collected or no cable can be loaned – NO EXCEPTIONS, NO EXCEPTIONS, NO EXCEPTIONS!! Re-read the blog posting from April 28th to be clear on how to loan out the cables
Reminder: camera & camcorder check-ins
Just a reminder for Circ Supervisors at Main: there are instructions for checking in digital cameras, flash HD camcorders, and mini-DV camcorders on the large equipment drawers near the entrance to Circulation. Among the exciting topics covered are deleting images, checking for all pieces, and recharging!
We have a new name!
Come to the Library Naming Ceremony!
Today! Thursday May 6th at 5:30 pm in the Main Library Atrium
(thanks to Sarah for the sidewalk signage)

Armstrong Compact shelving issues
A section of the compact shelving (bound periodicals QP 1- QP 351) in Armstrong is not working correctly. Sometimes it’s not resetting after it has been opened and therefore none of the aisles in that area can then open. I will post signs in this area directing patrons to the circualtion desk if they have problems opening an aisle. Below is a set of instructions for using our service key” to override the shelving unit if it does get stuck. Please carefully check all aisles that will open or close when using the override key to make sure no one is in those aisles.
Compact Shelving Won’t Reset – instructions
STOP: and first check that all of the aisles you are opening are completely empty.
Get “Service Key” (looks like TV remote control) from the drawer below the cash drawer.
- Point it at the inoperative shelve unit.
- Push the yellow button (has a triangle and “!” on it).
- On the book shelf: hold in the button that is supposed to open the aisle (the button must be held in, as it will stop moving as soon as you let off the button).
- Once you’ve moved it about one foot, let off the button.
- Now push the “Reset” button on the shelf.
- If the shelf doesn’t reset, try repeating these steps again.
Bach
If anyone is interested, I (your friendly neighborhood Dan Frostman) will be performing Bach’s Wedding Cantata with student vocalist India Laughlin at 7pm in the Mahaney Center for the Arts Concert Hall on Tuesday night at 7 pm.
