Special due date, books on hold, & T-WEEK info

Special due date

Since we are nearing the last day of classes, sirsi automatically has everyone's book's due on Aug. 10th. If they need it extended past this due date, we can do this. However, they need to show us proof of their fall schedule, whether on their phone or a printed copy. You will check the books out to them as normal, then afterwards go to "Renew User" click on the books they are wanting to extend and then go up to the top where you see calendar icons and click on "Special due date" and depending on what the loan period for that book normally is (ex: 7 or 28 days) click on the day and hit ok, then hit renew selected items and it will print them a due receipt with the extended due date. Thankfully, we only have to do this for about a week and then it will go back to making normal dates. If you would like us to show you in person how to do this just let us know!

Books on hold

If a patron has a book on hold, please remove the stickers on the books before you check them out to the patron, that way it is not stuck to the book the entire time they have it. Because after a while it can be difficult to remove the sticker and we don't' want to damage the book.

T-Week-(Transition Week)

T-Week is Aug 20-24th. Freshman will be touring the library on Aug. 22. during two sessions, the first one 8am-11am and then the second one is from 2pm-5pm. There will be a total of 2,050 freshman that will come tour the library this day. We will have whiteboards set up on each level and staff members will be at the boards explaining to them what resources that floor offers. Just to prepare those of you that have never worked these before; they are loud, packed and busy! Staff will be in and out of their offices this day since they will mainly be helping wherever they are assigned. Due to this, for this day we will allow there to be 2 student workers at the desk all day. That way if one of you need to leave to help give directions to someone, there will still be someone watching the desk. And, if a staff member needs you to help assist them with something you can do that as well.
Each group will have an RL or a TTM with a sign with their number attached to it. So if a student comes to the desk that is lost tell them to find their group number.
Make sure we have plenty of campus maps printed out for this day in case you need to have a visual to explain to someone where a certain building is.

Thanks Everyone!
