Spring items on reserve

Kellam and I are adding items to reserve for Spring Term. The processed books and media are located on the shelves at the end of the media shelving “Spring Reserve items – do not touch”.
If you are looking for an item that indicates it’s on reserve – and you can’t locate it in the WT reserve area – check the item record in Millennium. If the item record indicates that it’s on reserve for spring term, it will be in this area.
These items can circulate, IF you follow these procedures:
– Print out a copy of the item record and place it on the reserve shelf (opposite the check-in station) indicating the book has been checked out
– Change the due date of the item to Feb. 6
Thanks!

Overdue media items

We’ve had a large number of overdue reserve media items (taken out of the building). When checking out a reserve media item, please reinforce the loan period of 4 hours, in-house use only.
Thanks!

Headphones and chargers

Please double check headphones and chargers before placing in the lost and found. I found 2 headphones with barcodes on them, still checked out to patrons.

Thanks! Joanne

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
