CDs

We do not store CDs like DVDs; with CDs, the discs are kept in the case. So:

• When checking-out and checking-in, make sure all of the discs are in the case.
• Be careful with MP3 CDs - they come in cases that look like DVDs, but on the call number they are labeled "MP3CD." These should be handled like other CDs -- keep the discs in the case. Also, there should be a slip of paper inside the case about downloading; if you notice this is missing, please notify Joy.

Thanks,
Tamara

Checking-in items

When checking-in (discharging) items, be sure the item appears in the Discharge screen. NOTE: The barcode scanner will beep regardless of whether Voyager actually checks in the item! You have to look at the screen, not rely on the scanner sound. We've had some problems with items not being checked in properly and people being billed for items they returned.

Thanks,
Tamara

Important reminder!

When checking-in (aka discharging) items, please read any pop-up notes that appear!

• If a note appears saying something like "Item contains 2 pieces", make sure both pieces are present. If not, tell the person they need to bring in the missing item and give the item to a staff member.
• If a note appears saying "This item has a 'Lost' status", give the item to a staff member.
• If a note appears saying "This item is on 'Hold'", a receipt should print out. Give the item and the receipt to a staff member.

Thanks,

Library card applications

The last few library card applications I entered did not have any indication at the bottom of 1. type of patron, 2. what verification was checked (i.e., MxCC, driver's license, etc) and 3. initials of who accepted the application.  Just a reminder that this section must be checked.  Thank you, JH 2/2/12

Textbooks

While you are shelving books in the stacks or shelf-reading, please look for textbooks that are labeled "Instructor Copy." If you find any of these, please pull them off the shelf and give them to Joy.
