Temporary Fix for Sierra

The IT department is still working to fix the problems with Sierra on the Front Desk Computers.  In the meantime, they have a temporary fix.  Details are below:

• Please refer to the Library CODEX for the new computer login credentials.

• When signing out the computer at the end of your shift, please do CTRL/ALT/DELETE and choose Sign Off.  This is the only way we can log out at this time.

As always, if you have questions, please ask Kaitlyn or Noreen

Thank you for your cooperation.  

A Reminder About Fines

Please remember that when you check in a material if there is a fine, write the name of the person on a sticky note or a piece of paper and place it on Kaitlyn's desk. This makes it so she can easily go in and take care of the persons fine before the fines notices go out and the person with the fine panics. 

If there is no scrap paper or sticky notes at the front desk, please let Kaitlyn know and she will get some ready for you.

Please let Kaitlyn know if you have any questions or concerns.

REMINDER: SHUT DOWN LAPTOPS WHEN RETURNED

Just a quick reminder to ALWAYS check that laptops are shut down completely when they are returned before putting them back in the cabinet. When they are stored while turned on, even in sleep mode, they easily overheat and then cannot be used until they cool down and charge again.

Check EVERY LAPTOP, EVERY TIME and make sure it is OFF, not just in sleep mode. 

• On the Macs this is pretty obvious - but you can double check by moving the mouse around to see if the screen comes on. 
• On the PCs, sleep mode can be deceiving - look at the power button and if it is slowly lighting up blue and then going off again, the laptop is ON and asleep; you will need to push the power button to bring it out of sleep mode, login and then shut down the computer using the Start menu in the lower left corner of the screen.

Let Kaitlyn know if you have any questions.
