All -- Handouts in the Library

Please Note:

There has been some confusion about where handouts that aren't from the library should be displayed. We have labeled the wood handout shelf inside the Library entry gates for Library Information Handouts. Community and Other Campus related handouts will be displayed in the black turning shelf which is being relocated to the west side of the circulation desk, outside the Library entry gates.

Encyclopedia Britannica online

A student called to report that she couldn't access Britannica from home. I called the vendor's tech support number and was told that somehow the link was not going to the correct address. It has been corrected. If a student reports that they can't access Britannica off campus, have them go to http://search.eb.com/remove_cookie and that will take out the cookie preventing them from viewing the site.

ALL - student postings

Absolutely no postings on the doors, except library hours, and also keep the counters clean. I also noticed some fliers have the ASB approval stamp, and others don't.

I would say no job and no lodging/room postings, keep student postings at a minimum and check with the head librarian.

Do we agree? shuk

All: Library PCs Reminder

I just wanted to remind everyone that the computers in the library and in the computer place are set up with a security program that resets the computer each time it is powered off.

The importance of this is...
Never tell a student to save anything on the computer (desktop or C drive) that they intend to last past the computer rebooting. Also keep in mind that rebooting the computer is not just at the end of the day. Computers get hung up all the time and the only way to get them back is to reboot them. Always tell a student to save to a portable format such as a floppy disk or a USB drive.

Thanks!
