New online email available

Want to get in touch with someone on the library staff? Need to trade hours with another workstudy student, but don't know their email? Now you can log in to the new library online email account and have the address book at your fingertips. Contact Holley at library@inbox.com or wood-h@lambuth.edu to find out how to log in.

Issues to please remember:

• when re-shelving, a mis-shelved book is a lost book, so make sure that books are properly in their places. Putting a book back arbitrarily at the end of the row will not do!
  
• when putting books in the holding area at the back of circulation (under the window), please make sure to file them correctly according to the rough sort letters indicated on the shelves. This will facilitate re-shelving later.
• when discharging a book, check to make sure that it's not a reserve before you put it in the holding area for re-shelving. All reserves need to go back on the reserve shelf!
• reserve books, articles, and music CDs must be discharged before putting back on the shelf. Otherwise the patron accrues fines at an alarming rate!

Don't forget the training in LC catalog Numbers on Sunday, 10/26, and Reference and Research on Sunday, 11/2. There will be a pizza party meet & greet b4 so you can get to know folks you don't know, or see those you don't get to see!

Don't forget to exercise your rights and vote! While it's exciting to cast your vote on election day, you never know what might happen to keep you from getting to the polls. Early voting starts Wed., 10/15. Check out our posters all over the library for details on hours and the address of the election commission, and make your voice heard!

Thanks for all the hard work, and have a great fall break! hw

Timesheets, etc.

Timesheets for the workstudy period which just ended have been turned in. The pay date is this coming Friday, October 10, and you may pick up your check in the business office (ground floor of Varnell~Jones Hall) on that day. Your copy of your official timesheet which was turned in to the Financial Aid office is attached to your sign-in sheet in the time log. If you have any questions about your time, please contact me.

Remember the training on catalog numbers that will be available on Sunday, Oct. 26. There will be a pizza party meet & greet before the training, which will probably only last about 1/2 an hour. If there are people you haven't met, please come join us for that part of it if you wish. If you have questions about LC EZ, or if you just want to be more comfortable shelving books or shelf reading, this training is for you! Don't forget to sign up so we have enough pizza for everyone!

I wanted to clarify something about "browsed" books. This term is referring to books that have been left out on tables, but not checked out. The Voyager system is not recording these books as "browsed," so we need to log them for our statiscal gathering. There is a red three-ring notebook in the re-shelving area where these books can be logged. Whenever you take a head count or go around and check the library and see books left out on the tables, please log them in this notebook before re-shelving.

Watch for announcements about activities coming up at the library in October!

THANKS TO EVERYONE FOR ALL YOUR GREAT WORK! hw
