Hello All,

I am working on the Summer schedule. The Spring schedule will go through Sunday May 25 (the end of Break Week). The new Summer schedule will start on Monday May 26 and go through Sept 1.

So if you have not done so, I will need your Summer hours. Please put them in FileMaker Pro.

Since I have the schedule made up until Sunday May 26, if you leave for summer vacation before that date or need time off, you must post your hours. Otherwise I will assume that you are working.

If you are graduating I need to know when your last day will be. Remember that you can work until May 31 if you are graduating.

If you are coming back in the Fall I need your Fall hours, please post these in the FileMaker Pro. Please remember that for Fall we will be moving down to one desk, so we will be cutting a lot of hours.

Also if you want to work extra hours in the Summer let me know.

Post to the blog so that I know you have read this!

Thanks,
Melissa

How to use the Public Scanner...

1. Make sure the scanner is on. There should be be a '01' in the readout window. If it is not on, press the power button on the far left of the front panel.

2. Launch Adobe Photoshop via shortcut on the desktop.

3. Place your item for scanning face-down in the scanner. You will be given a preview of the image, so you can adjust the positioning of the item to be scanned if necessary.

4. In Adobe Photoshop, go File->Import->HP Scanjet 4500c/5550c (the first option).

5. Item will scan and a new window will pop up. Beneath and near the right-hand corner of the scanned image there will be two buttons: Preview and Accept. Preview will take a new picture over the one you already have. Accept will scan the image into Photoshop, at which point it can be saved (File-Save As) several different file types (see File Type drop-down).

-Remember to tell the person scanning that if they save something to the computer to go in and delete out when they are done and delete from the Trash can also.

I am going to be moving two of the photocopiers on the 3rd floor today from their old location by the floor plans to the other side of the glass wall by the staircase. This move is in preparation for the up-coming library renovations that will be taking place this summer. We'll still be using touchkeys for these two copiers, so I'm counting on you to make sure that patrons get all of the help they need and don't wander away forgetting to pay for their copies! Thanks, everybody! Emily

Remember that when you open in the morning and you check the return bins, you MUST backdate before you return the book. Remember to backdate to the last hour the library open. If you do not know how to do this please ask Melissa, David, Emily, Pat, Steve or Randy.

Also remember to remind students when they check out a RESERVE book that it is due back in 2 hours. We now charge late fees on the overdue Reserve books so its very important that you remind students. Also remember that you must scan in items as soon as they are returned.

Please respond to this blog!

Thanks,
Melissa
