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,

Reserves Updates

You may have noticed some changes with reserves:

• The majority of textbooks have been changed to in-library use only, and pink slips have been attached to the covers warning students of overdue fees. 
• The books have also been categorized by course under each Professor's name. There are stickers on the spine of the book indicating the course (this is also written in the back of the book by the barcode). Please try to put the books onto their correct shelf and place.

If you see any problems with books (missing stickers or pink slip, no indication of course, etc.) please let Tamara know. 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

For Reserve DVDs (only), please leave DVDs in the cases when shelving.  It expedites the process of charging to faculty and students and they are secure being that they are kept behind the desk.  Thank you.  Joy

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.

When putting magazines and journals away, please take some time to straighten out the older ones under the shelf.  It is not necessary for them to all be in chronological order, but do take the time to straighten and neaten the piles.  AP
