More Updates

Just a few things I want to call to your attention

1. There are no locks on the printers anymore, so therefore we do not need keys. Please just keep an eye on the printers during this transition, let us know if there is any suspicious behavior.

2. You will notice that the televisions have moved from Giere to the study alcove above Giere. Go check out where they are and where they were, I think it's an improvement.

3. There are three sets of cassette tapes on reserve for Intermediate Japanese III, you will see them on the reserve shelf with the call number F1384 tape1-3. DO NOT DESENSITIZE THESE ITEMS! Also, we have two cassette players and headphones on reserve for patrons to check out with these cassettes. NONE OF THESE ITEMS ARE TO LEAVE THE BUILDING! There is a third cassette player upstairs with the tvs, people do not have to check this one out to use, it's just out.

I think that's it for the time being. Let me know if you have any questions!

Beginning of Term Updates

Welcome Back!

Don't forget to check in with myself or Belinda about your schedule today. Everyone is required to do so today by 5pm!

The online timecards have gone live, which means this is the way you will be paid now. To enter your time go to the real Merlin instead of using the test Merlin. We still will be using the timeclock but just as a helper in the transition, please make sure that both your online timecard and your physical timecard are accurate. And please make sure any changes to your schedule are communicated.

You will see in the curriculum lab a bunch of books that we have on display for the Harry Potter Exhibit. These items are on reserve, people can check them out for 3 days. The bands that I put on books for reserve are on the back cover, you will find that the barcodes are handwritten on there. If you are on the desk when one of these items gets returned please discharge and put it back on display in the curriculum lab.

Let me know if you have any questions!

Harry Potter Exhibit

You may start getting calls at the desk about the Harry Potter Exhibit, Emily has printed out a FAQ for us. You can find it on the clip board at the information services desk, please glance over it.

Please ask Emily or myself if you have any other questions!

Thanks!

Schedules and Reminders

The Spring Term schedules are up on the website under the student assistant contact page. Just click on your name and move the calendar to the week of March 28, the schedules start then. Please be sure to see Belinda or Heidi on Monday, March 28th to confirm your schedule, and we will handle any problem at that time.

Please make sure that your student assistant website is set to the correct timezone. The way to do this is click the gear symbol in the top right hand corner, then select user settings. The time zone should be set to GMT - 06:00 Central Time - Chicago.

Please remember to work your finals week hours next week. Also, make sure that you fill out and sign your electronic timecards before you leave for spring break. I will send out another reminder but please keep this in mind!

Windows 7 Update

With the Windows 7 upgrade they do not have that nice little money icon to tell us how many print credits a student has left. The way a student can check how many credits they have left is to log on to Merlin, "add print credits" and in that screen it should tell people how much they have left.

Also, the fishbowl printer is not called the fishbowl anymore, it is now the small lab. ITS is trying to transition that name out, so please call the fishbowl the small lab.

Thanks!

Hello,

We will take a break on reviews from now until the end of the term. I will start back up next term though. This does not mean stop checking the blog because you never know what might come up!

Thanks!
