[Circulation] circulation reminders

[Suzanne Karanikis]

Hello Everyone,

Several reminders about working at the desk:

1.  Folks who close the library:  please remember to lock the 
headphone cabinet and drop the key into the slot.  Bev has pointed 
out to me that the headphone cabinet is not always locked when she 
opens in the morning.

2.  Be careful reshelving reserve books.  In the past week I've 
pulled one reserve off of a re-shelving cart and pulled two 
library-owned books off of the personal reserves.  The shelving of 
the personal reserves gets funky now and again.  Please shelve them 
in alphabetical order by the book's title.  If the title is not 
clear, we write the first 2 letters of the title on the spine to help 
you shelve it.  Course packets  should be in alphabetical order by 
the name of the course.

3.   Headphones have been a hot commodity lately.  Of the 4 sets we 
are supposed to have, we only have 2.   I traded one of the sets that 
uses the adapter with one in Media Services that has the fatter end - 
this is what students need to use in the audio carrels.  We also have 
one set with the adapter,  which students tend to take off to use in 
their laptops.  It is really important to make sure that patrons 
return the adapter on the set that has it.  I'm talking with the 
Media Services staff to come up with a better solution.  I'll let you 
know what we decide.

4.  It's not too early to be thinking about Spring Break.  To review, 
work is required through 10pm on Friday, March 11.  The library will 
be closed on Saturday and Sunday, March 12 & 13 (Weekend 2 is off). 
Work is optional March 14 - 18.  On Saturday, March 19 the library 
will be closed again, but open on Sunday, March 20.  Work will be 
required for Weekend 1 on the 20th.  If you will be going away for 
break, please make sure your required shifts are covered.  I've 
posted a temporary schedule for March 14 - 18.

Please contact me if you have questions about anything listed in this e-mail.
