[Circulation] it's really weekend 2 and other business

[Suzanne Karanikis]

-- 
Hi Everybody,

First, my apologies to all of the weekend one students who panicked 
when I sent the weekend reminder.  I inadvertently used this mailing 
list instead of the weekend list.

Now, down to business.

Expired Patrons
Last night someone did a manual check out to a patron whose record 
had expired in Triple I.  This should not have been done because 
graduates no longer have the right to use their student records. 
They must register for alumni cards and can borrow ONLY IF they live 
in the greater Amherst area.  The moral of the story: believe what 
Triple I displays about expiration dates and call over a supervisor 
when you don't understand the circumstances.  If there is no 
supervisor on duty at the time, you have to ask the patron to come 
back when one is available.  Until then, the patron may not borrow 
from our collection.  We can't even update the expiration of a 
student from the other four colleges - the student needs to be 
updated at their home library.

Shelving Issues
Chris and I would like to institute a new policy whereby reshelving 
carts should be double-checked for call number order before doing the 
second check-in.  I've been noticing that the carts I've taken to 
re-shelve are not completely in order.  Another thing I'm noticing is 
that current Div. III's are being loaded onto the reshelving carts. 
The 2002 and 2003 editions should be shelved on the first floor next 
to the circulation desk and should not even go onto the re-shelving 
carts.

General Reminders
Don't forget, the late-shift meeting is next Thursday at 4:30. 
Please tell me if you will be working through JanTerm and the Spring 
Term as well.

Suzanne
