[Circulation] Please Read if You Are Working this Weekend: Information for Grads

Fri May 6 13:59:37 EDT 2016

Hi All, 

Below is the memo I sent to students who are graduating next week. Here
are the most important things you need to know: 

1. Today is the last day graduating students may borrow anything from
the library. If they need to borrow media equipment or keys their record
will need to be updated by me, Rhana, or Karen. Grads will not be able
to borrow books after today. 

2. Today was the final due date for grads. Returns are going to be heavy
throughout the weekend. I left extra blue delivery boxes outside the
circ office in case you need to pack returns when the 5C shelves get
full. 

3. The key supervisor for film photo, Kane Stewart, pulled they monitor
and div III keys (keys #401, 402, 403) to the film photo building today.
Students who want to get in to that building will need to contact Kane,
Magda Bermudez, or John Gunther. 

4.Though today was the final due date for grads, they can still safely
return books through Tuesday without fear of having a library hold on
their accounts, see below. 

5. Anyone who wants to talk about fines or charges on their library
account need to talk to me, or to Matt Newman in media services if they
are media charges. Please do not try to interpret the charges in Aleph
to the patrons, this is confusing and inaccurate. 

6. I asked carrel users to clear their carrels by Tuesday and let them
know they can borrow library carts if they have that many books to bring
down from their carrels. I also offered copier paper boxes that students
may use to box up their things to carry them out of the library. They
may grab any of the empty boxes from the circ office any time the office
is open. 

7. I will be working Sunday from 10-3. Feel free to have students stop
by to see me if they seem to have burning questions tonight or Saturday.

Thanks for your help with this, 

Suzanne

Dear May Grad, 

Congratulations, you are almost there! This email is to inform you of
important dates concerning your library account. 

FRIDAY, MAY 6: YOUR LIBRARY ACCOUNT EXPIRES TODAY!
Please make sure to return all Hampshire, 5 College, and Interlibrary
loan items today. If you need to continue to borrow building monitor
keys or media equipment please contact me or talk to a supervisor at the
InfoBar so that we can update your record. Supervisors will be on duty
Friday until 3pm, then from 5 - 10pm, Saturday 10am - 5:30pm, and Sunday
10am-3pm. If you need to continue to use some of the books that are
checked out to you for your div III please keep them until you are done
with them. 

TUESDAY, MAY 10: MAKE SURE YOUR CARREL HAS BEEN CLEARED BY NOON.
Please return all books and remove all personal belongings and trash
from your carrel. You may borrow a cart from the circulation desk if you
need to transport books to the first floor, and we usually have copier
paper boxes on hand if you need to carry out the contents of your
carrel. Personal belongings will be held at the library for a week after
Commencement, and then donated or discarded. Please let me know if you
are not able to clear your carrel by Tuesday. 

TUESDAY, MAY 10: LIBRARY HOLDS WILL BE PLACED ON THE ACCOUNTS OF GRADS
WHO STILL HAVE ITEMS CHECKED OUT.
A library hold will prevent you from receiving your diploma at
Commencement. Library holds will be placed on accounts only for items
that have not been returned, not for overdue fines. Library holds will
be cleared once you have returned all the items that were checked out to
you. You will be able to check your account on the Hub to know if you
have a library hold. This information is listed under Courses, Approvals
and Holds. Library holds display as a code DOLIB. 

THURSDAY, MAY 12: THIS IS THE LAST DAY TO CLEAR YOUR LIBRARY HOLD.
You have until 4:00 p.m. to return all library materials to order to
insure that the library hold on your account is lifted before
Commencement. PLEASE NOTE THAT THE LIBRARY WILL NOT HOLD DIPLOMAS FOR
OVERDUE FINES. 

MONDAY, MAY 16: YOU MAY NOW REGISTER FOR AN "ALUMN" LIBRARY CARD
If you continue to live in the greater Amherst area you may register for
a new library card. An alumn card allows you to borrow only Hampshire
items from the circulating collection, but you may no longer make
5-College or interlibrary loan requests. Your remote access to the
library's databases will end as well. 

FINE/FEE ACCOUNT INFO 

Please contact me if you have any questions at all regarding the status
of your library account. 

Contact Matt Newman (x-5537, mrnLO at hampshire.edu) with questions
regarding Media Services fines. 

You must contact the owning institutions to discuss 5-College fees and
fines. Here's the list of staff to contact: 

Amherst College - Judy Lively - 542-5024 - jflively at amherst.edu
Mount Holyoke College - Jennifer Chien - 538-3372 - cchien at mtholyoke.edu
Smith College - Maria Rao - 585-4160 - mrao at smith.edu
UMass - Mary Yokubaitis - 545-2420 - mey at library.umass.edu 

Thank you and I wish you all the best!
