Reserves

Message from Pat:

In case any of you have forgotten (or never knew!) here's the procedure for returning professors' personal copies of books, videotapes, or course packets.

-Simply ask what the course name and number was (N5200, PubH6800, for instance) and look it up in our Filemaker Reserve database.
-Print the course page and pull the appropriate private copy items off our shelves.
-Pull off the red wrappers and book marks, or take any articles out of the Bio-Med envelopes they were kept in, and give the books and/or articles back to the prof.
-Last, but definitely not least, ask him or her to sign the course sheet (make sure it's legible!) and date it.
-Put the signed sheet on my desk, please.

If the course also had library-owned items on reserve, you can leave them on the shelves and I'll take care of removing them and changing their item records later.

Thanks everyone!
Pat
