Bio-Med Library Access Services Blog: Now closing at 3am!

Hello Everyone,

Starting today (1/22/08), the library will be open until 3am. A security monitor will be here until 3am. This replaces the 24/7, which did not see that many people from 3-7am.

So when you close the library at the normal time (11 during the week and Sundays, 7 on Fridays and 6 on Saturdays), you will need to close as you normally would. HOWEVER, you will now need to turn off the handicap button (so that the handicap button does not work). Remember you do this by using that weird little forked key and the lock is on the wall (looks like a light switch). After you are done switching it off (and checking it, to make sure the door does not open on its own via the button), you MUST notify a security monitor that it is closed and that they will need to open the door for anyone who needs help. Both doors will remain unlocked until 3am, but the handicap button will not be working.

Also we now have three sheets for you to hand the night security monitor (or the extended hours monitor if you see them). You will find copies in the blue Diehl Security monitor book:
1) New closing instructions
2) Demographic survey
3) Study room log in sheet

-Remind the security monitor to place them in my mail box
-You must give these sheets to the security monitor!!!

Please respond to this entry with your initials.

Thanks,
Melissa
