ALL - Checking out Laptops

This is to put in writing our practice for looking up library card numbers for patrons.

We will continue to look up library card numbers for students that forgot their card with the exception of checking out laptops. Due to the high demand for laptops we will not add to the time it takes staff to complete these transactions by looking up Library card numbers.

So to summarize. Patrons that wish to check out library laptops must have their library card with them.

Thanks

ALL - Summer/Fall Schedule of Classes

As you all saw in your email last week the schedule of classes won't come out until May 15. Unfortunately registration start May 14! There are photocopies of the schedule up at admissions and of course, students can use the online schedule. In addition, I got us a copy of the photocopy of the schedule. It is available at the Reference Desk.

Please note: This is our only copy until the print schedules are delivered. Guard it well!

REF -- Library Online Class Orientations

Reference Staff:
The schedule has been set and published for the upcoming Online Class Orientations. They are set up in two groups.
  • The first group is each of the last 10 days of class for those students taking early start summer courses.
  • The second group is the first week of summer session for those students starting their online classes then.

The Sample Class is available to us all to demo the Moodle system if the students' classes are not yet available. I have placed a list of the 'students' enrolled in the sample class at the Reference Desk.

As in past semesters, if a student can not make it to a scheduled orientation and we have time, we will do orientations on a drop in basis.

Please let me know if you have any questions about the orientations or Moodle in general. Also please let me know if you have suggestions to improve the sample class to better facilitate the orientations.
