WELCOME BACK!!

We hope you had a restful winter break! We thought it would be useful to begin the new semester with a few IMPORTANT REMINDERS:

1. Please be mindful about having extended conversations with friends when working at the front desk. We love when visitors want to stop and chat, but large groups gathered at the desk for long periods can inhibit other patrons from approaching for assistance. Please limit social conversations to a few minutes while working.

2. Remember to check laptops IN and OUT both in SIERRA AND ON THE PAPER FORMS. Also remember to check that all components are present in the laptop bags when checking in and out. Remind patrons that LAPTOPS ARE DUE BY THE END OF THE DAY and refer requests for longer check-outs to Allison or Noreen - we are limiting this due to some recent issues.

3. ALWAYS complete the checklist when opening or closing the library - it includes some small things that we all tend to forget from time to time.

4. Please make sure students are aware of the 3-hour time limit on closed reserve book check-outs. We have a new group of SDAP students who may not yet be familiar with the system and we want to make sure that the closed reserves are regularly available to use in the Library. 

As always, please let Allison or Noreen know if you have any questions or post them in the comments section. We appreciate all of you hard work and hope your semester is off to a good start!
