Hi everyone, It's time for a cash register review. I've gotten some feedback from the Accounting Office that errors have run amok, so I thought we'd go over the basics. 1. Opening - Double count the drawer. Fill out the opening slip completely and make sure that it matches the previous day's closing slip. Any errors greater than $0.50 need to be reported to me. (I'll be checking, so don't make me come after you!)

2. Closing - Double count the drawer. Fill out the closing slip completely. Attach the cash register receipt.

3. Cash Register Error Slips (formerly known as Overring Slips) - Fill out slips completely. If you are the reason for the error (a moment, rather than the patron choosing an alternate payment method, for example), you need to re-ring the transaction and indicate that you've done so on the slip or explain why. Place in cash drawer when completed.

Questions? Comments? Yes! Comments! Comment on this post so that I know you've read it.

Thanks everyone! Ice cream for all! (Dave brought in ice cream so that we can finish off the cones and toppings still in the break room. Thanks very much, Dave!)

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

All
Wangensteen Library has been receiving a number of toner scam phone
calls recently. Individuals call to "verify" a toner order.

Please do not respond to these callers. Legitimate orders will be
placed in the Administration Office and any follow up will be through
this office. You may refer them to 612 626-0998 and we will deal with them.

If you have any questions, please let me know.
Thanks
Arlys

According to one of the librarians who has been troubleshooting offsite access to PubMed Find It Links, there may be a solution. Users should be instructed to access PubMed by clicking on the PubMed icon in the center of our homepage. For some reason, this appears to fix the problem for some people. Woohoo!
