Couple reminders

Hello,

It seems that we have gotten a little relaxed on some going ons in the library that I need to remind you about.

1. It is never ok for someone to be sitting with you at a desk...like ever.  You should not be having someone study with you or visit you.  

2. When discharging I-Share materials each receipt should be separated and placed in each book.  Do not put one big receipt for multiple items in one item.  

I know it's the winter and we are in the thick of it but keep it together, people!

Heidi

Access Services

Hello,

The sections have been assigned for access services.  You can find your assigned section in your schedule page under the calendar on the student assistant website.

You are responsible for your section.  This means that you are to make sure that it is in order, that it looks nice, that the signs are accurate, and to do the electronic inventory on it.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Heidi

Open Shifts

Hello,

We have two open shifts for the term: periodicals desk Tuesdays 7-9pm and periodicals desk Wednesdays 9-Midnight.  If you would like either one of these shifts for the term please let me know as soon as possible.  Please remember that you cannot work 7 days in a row or for more than 20 hours a week on campus.

Thanks!
Heidi
