Reminder

Hello,

Just a little reminder that you should always log into the student assistant computer at the information services desk before you do anything else.  Don't set up your stuff, LOG IN!

Thanks!

Information services desk

Hello,

Please remember that the information services desk is your first priority and should never be left empty.  The student assistants should be the most aware of being present at the desk. 

Please do not just leave if no one has shown up at the end of your shift.  If, by chance, the person who comes after you has not shown up for their shift, please let myself or the person sitting on the staff side know the situation.  PLEASE DO NOT JUST LEAVE!

Thanks!
Heidi

Schedules are up

Hello,

The schedules for the rest of the term are now up on the website.

Heidi

Welcome back!

Welcome back! We are excited to see students back on campus, and especially our returning student assistants! When you checked in with us yesterday we gave you a number of updates. Here is a bit more detail about those items:

Reference Services Librarians:

We are sad to share the news that neither Mary nor Dave will be returning this fall. Since they left over the summer and no one got to say goodbye, we have a card for each of them in the office if you would like to write them a note. In related news, our new Reference Services Librarians for the evenings and weekends are Helen and Lisa. Please help us make them feel welcome and appreciated as they start this term with us!

I-Share Book Bands:

In an effort to become more sustainable, we have switched from the blue I-Share bands to new permanent maroon bands! You will still check out these books in the same way that you did the blue bands. Look for the school’s barcode to charge or discharge. If you cannot locate the barcode, it will be written on the front on the white receipt that is in the pocket of the band. Do not try to scan the barcodes on those receipts as they aren’t compatible with our scanners. When you give the books to the patron, tell them that they need to keep the band on the books when they return them or they will be risking fines. If you get a book back that does not belong to Oesterle Library and does not have the band on it, DO NOT DISCHARGE IT. Give it to Neena (or Heidi/Belinda If Neena is not there). If you are unsure or have questions about the new process, do not hesitate to ask one of us! 

Voter Registration station:

You may have noticed in the lobby that we have a Voter Registration Station up on one of the public computers. We are really excited for the opportunity to help students, faculty, staff, and our community get prepared to vote in the midterm elections this November! The screen should stay open to https://www.vote.org/  - from this site people can check their status, register to vote, request an absentee ballot, and check their polling place. A couple of important pieces of information - we can NOT help anyone fill out their voter registration or answer any questions about their specific situation. We are not trained or certified in any way to do that. We can only tell people it is available to them, and then they have to figure it out for themselves.
