Staff Changes

Hello,

Just thought I would let everyone know that Patrick has taken another job and will be leaving us September 5th.  Bronwen left us over the summer, as well as Lisa.  Monica Carroll will be replacing Lisa starting September 3rd.  Please welcome her!

Headphones

No headphones should EVER be used at ANY of the desks.  EVER.

Come on guys, I should have to say this.

Cellphone Policy

Hello,

We have noticed over the past year that we have had some issues with cell phone usage at the desks.  In order to improve on this we are now banning phones from the desks.  When you are at any of the desks your phone should not be visible.  It should be put away and should not be used unless you have a special circumstance that you communicate with the staff member beforehand.  Student Coordinators cannot have their phones out at all as well, even in the back area, unless they are using them for work related reasons.

Students who violate this rule will go through the disciplinary warning process.

Thanks!
Heidi

Cardinal Directions

Hello,

We have a good amount of books on reserve for our new Cardinal Directions classes (CARD-101, CARD-102 and CARD-200).  This is a brand new program that will require both faculty and students to use these items.  They wanted the program to have a bit of a display so that people would feel welcome to use the items.  I have made the right side of the reserve shelves entirely this program.

Because they wanted these items to be very attractive I did not put the usual reserve bands on the items.  Instead I made a temporary thin band that is on the back cover so you know that it is different than a regular collection book or a regular reserve book.

You can find the list of books in the reserve listing searching by the course.
Let me know if you have any questions.

Finals week and Fall Term

Hello,

Your schedules for finals week and fall term are up on the website.

Please remember that you will continue your regular schedule through Saturday and then finals week schedule starts Sunday.

Thank you for a great year and thank you seniors for all your hard work.  We will miss you so much!

End of Term

There are several matters that we must take care of before the term ends.  Please read this post and all attachments carefully!

1.            We need to know whether or not you are planning to return to North Central and your position at the library in the fall.  If you are returning, please complete appropriate form schedule. If for any reason you do not plan to return in the fall, please fill out the not returning form to let us know your intentions as soon as possible!

2.            FALL SEMESTER SCHEDULES - All of you who do plan to return to work Fall Term will be assigned a work schedule before you leave for the summer.  That work schedule will be for the first 3-4 weeks of the term only.  Priority during that time will be given to covering all night and weekend desk hours, and then daytime desk hours as available.  We will need to hire new student assistants during those weeks, and we will be depending on all of you to help us keep operations running while we do that hiring! After hiring is complete you will receive a new schedule for the remainder of the term.

The appropriate form should be completed to indicate when you will be available to work during those first few weeks of Fall Semester.  Please complete the form carefully and thoughtfully!  Also, remember that if you submit a schedule that that does not leave sufficient hours for us to work with when assigning schedules, the form will be returned to you for revision!  All forms should be given to Heidi by 5:00 p.m. on Monday, MAY 20^th.

4.         FINALS WEEK - All student assistants are expected to work their regular work schedule through Saturday, June 1^st.  A finals week schedule is being prepared for Sunday, June 2^nd through Wednesday, June 5^th.  All student assistants are required to sign up to work a minimum of four hours during finals week. Please see Heidi by 5:00 p.m. on Monday, MAY 20^th  to sign up for your hours.

You are invited!
