ATI UPDATE

The Library computers have been updated in order to allow ATI Testing to work properly. ATI Testing should now be working on all six public desktop computers on the 3rd floor and the HP laptops (NOT the Macs). Firefox is the browser of choice for ATI on these computers. 

The 4th floor public computers are currently able to run ATI Testing Using Internet Explorer, but these are administered by the hospital IT department and will NOT be updated if ATI stops working.

 
SO, we should recommend that students needing to complete ATI testing use the 3rd floor desktops or HP laptops with Firefox as the browser. 

ATI Testing also works in the 2nd MCCN computer lab.

PLEASE let Allison or Don know immediately if issues are reported so that we can follow-up as we have been assured that everything is working. 

LAPTOP REMINDER

This is nothing new, but just a few reminders about laptop check-in/out:

• ALWAYS complete both the PAPER form and the SIERRA check-out AND CHECK-IN. We have had several laptops recently that are not being checked in on the paper form

• We are not longer allowing extended check-outs of any kind. ALL LAPTOPS MUST BE RETURNED THE SAME DAY.

• When laptops are returned, remember to check that they have been POWERED OFF BEFORE PUTTING BACK IN THE CABINET

• When closing the Library, remember to lock the laptop cabinet

• NO documents are saved on the laptops once they are logged out; users should ALWAYS SAVE TO AN EXTERNAL DRIVE OR EMAIL THE DOCUMENT TO THEMSELF BEFORE LOGGING OFF. We recently had a student lose a paper because she did not heed this advice; when this happens we have no way of recovering the documents.

DRESS CODE REMINDER

Spring is here and as you dig out your warm weather clothes there are a few Mount Carmel dress code restrictions to keep in mind. The following clothing items are not permitted during your work shifts at the Library:  

• Denim

• Scrubs/Clinical uniform

• Sports team clothing sweatshirts

• Fleece jackets

• Printed t-shirts including items with the MCCN logo

• Spandex and shorts

• Capri pants that are just below knees (mid-calf pants are permitted)

• Miniskirts

• Sleeveless/Tank tops and bare midriffs

• Sloppy or wrinkled clothing

• Hats and/or baseball caps

• Flip-flops

• Tennis shoes

• Curduroy

Please let us know if you have any questions!

Workroom Refrigerator

You are always welcome to use the workroom refrigerator to store your food and drinks, but please try to remember to remove unwanted items promptly. In order to maintain space and keep things sanitary, items left in the refrigerator will be thrown away on a regular basis. If you do want to keep something in the fridge for multiple days, please write your name and a desired 'toss date' on the item with a permanent marker.

Thanks!

New 4th Floor TV

We got a new TV on the 4th floor and have removed the one that was there on the movable stand. The new one is mounted on the wall above the staircase. Below are step by step instructions for turning on the new TV and starting the slideshow when you open the Library: 

The remote control is in the drawer and has a label that indicates it is for the 4th floor TV. To begin the slideshow follow these steps:

1. Press the Power button to turn the TV on

2. Push the Input button

3. Use the Arrow buttons to scroll to USB on the input list (it is last on the list so you can either scroll all the way down or push the up arrow once to find it

4. Select USB

5. Select Photo

6. Select Root (the picture of a file folder); you will then seen all of the slides and each one should have a checkmark beneath it

7. Press the Blue 'C' button at the very bottom of the remote to begin the slideshow

At the end of the day, when you are closing the Library, simple power off the TV just as you do with the others. 

Please let me know if you have any questions or trouble operating the TV

ATI Testing on Library Computers

We have been having an increasing number of complaints that ATI Testing does not work on Library desktop or laptop computers. Don, Christina and I did some investigating and have determined a series of steps that will allow it to work. The following steps will need to be done each time ATI Testing is accessed:

1. You must use Mozilla Firefox browser

2. Navigate to ATI Testing website and login

3. You may see a screen that says 'Silverlight needs to be activated'          a. Click 'Activate Silverlight'

          b. Another window will open asking if you want to allow this; click 'Allow and Remember'

4. Refresh the browser window, by highlighting the URL and pressing 'Enter.'

5. Your test should now begin loading

I have created a small flyer with these steps that can be given out to students who are having trouble using ATI on our computers. The flyers on on the front desk, next to the candy bowl, where the 24/7 Access handouts used to be. 

Please let me know if you have any questions or further reports that this is not solving the problem.

NEW: 10-Digit Dialing for Local Calls

As you may have already heard, the Columbus area has recently been assigned a third area code (in addition to 614 and 740) and ALL LOCAL CALLS NOW REQUIRE THE FULL TEN DIGITS - area code + phone number. 

To call out from a Mount Carmel phone, such as the Library front desk phones:

• To a '614' number: dial 9 + 614 + phone number
• To a long distance (non 614) number: dial 9 + 1 + area code + phone number

The send faxes: 

• FOR ALL FAXES: Dial 9 + 1 + area code + phone number 

When giving the Library phone number to clients, you should provide them with the full 10-digit number: 614-234-5214

Let Allison or Noreen know if you have any questions.
