Mailboxes for PT Librarians

The mailboxes for part-time librarians (Alice, Gwen, Jackie, Mary, & Tim) have moved to the circulation/reserves department. If you have mail for any of them, place an addressed interoffice mail envelope with enclosed documents in Kara's mailbox and she will distribute it to the new location.

Laptop Stolen

There was a laptop stolen in the library yesterday.

Please increase your walking around the library. Also please be aware of student's who are leaving laptops unattended and warn them of the possibilities of it being stolen.

And keep an eye out for suspicious looking persons.

GIL Express - NO SSN option

Rhonda reported to me this morning that the SSN option for GIL Express has been removed. Removing the Social Security Number option is intended to make patron information more secure.

Students will use their Laker Id's or Barcode numbers to access the system.

Using Media Services?

Don't forget to let Kara know if you are sending a print request to Media Services or better yet just let her do it for you! I am trying a new system for FY09, so please help me be successful and keep me in the loop.
