I am Jack's lateral intraparietal area. I control Jack's sense of time. In an hour, I will tell Jack to take the gate counts. In another hour, I will tell Jack to take the gate counts again. All in all, Jack will take the gate counts once an hour from 8am to 12midnight every day from Sunday, May 12th, to Saturday, May 18th.

If you are at working at Walter Library on those days, will you remind your human to take the gate counts every hour? I hope you will! Thanks!

Hello students, and welcome back to another chilly Spring Semester at the University of Minnesota. Starting Sunday, we will begins collecting hourly gate counts again, right on schedule. So remember, every time the hour rolls over to take those gate counts, otherwise it means 16 more weeks of winter! :-(

Thanks!

They're around every corner, Gate Counts on the loose! The more you catch (once every hour) the closer Walter gets to becoming WORLD GATE COUNT MASTER! This Sunday the competition begins , so keep your eyes open and your wits about you.

Please join me in this quest to "Catch 'em all," and beat Team Rocket!

(Ok, I am out of Pokemon knowledge, but please take the gate counts every hour starting with this Sunday. Thanks!)

Hello students,
Just two quick things:
The book on Course Reserve for AEM 3031--Mechanics of Materials--is to no longer check out overnight. The loan of this book is now 2 HOURS ONLY, NO OVERNIGHT. However, like videos, the book will check out in Aleph overnight, so just tell patrons it will be due back two hours from checkout. NO EXCEPTIONS.

Also:
The gate counts have been sloppy as of late, and I just want to remind everyone that opens and works at six (usually closing the library) that it is part of your duty to take the gate counts. Weekends have been especially poor lately, as staff are not here at 6 to remind you. Please take it upon yourselves to take the gate counts at 8am and 6pm. Think about right now the days that you work during these hours, and put it in your mind that after you take off your coat and stow your things, please take the gate counts!

Thanks!
Tim

Hello students,

Hourly gate counts will start this Sunday and run through the whole week until November 11th. So please, remember every hour you are on the desk to take the gate counts. For those of you unfamiliar with the gate counts, please ask a co-worker or supervisor.

Thanks so much!
Tim

Hi Circ Staff!

This week is one of those special weeks I know you all have been waiting for. It is HOURLY GATE COUNT WEEK! For those of you that are new, every few times a semester, we take the gate count numbers every hour in order to determine traffic for staffing/budgeting/etc. The gates (those things that beep when someone tries to steal a book) keep track of the number of people that come in and out of the library, so at the top of every hour, I will have you RECORD the numbers located about knee-level on the gates. At the 2nd floor there are two numbers that need to be recorded, one on the top of each stairs, and at the Basement desk, I will you need you to record the number after the letter "P" (NOT "A").

Thanks so much for your cooperation, and ask me or a manager if you have any questions.

Thanks,
Tim

We will be recording Hourly Gate Counts Sunday, August 5 - Saturday, August 11. Forms will be placed at each desk.

Thanks for your help!

Sorry Mario, your princess is in another castle!

But while you are here, if you could record how many people pass through this green tube ever hour, maybe we will make sure Bowser doesn't throw too many fireballs your way.
(Jun 1st-7th)

Thanks!

The minutes tick by
Feet tread the lonely pathway

Just a reminder to take the gate counts every hour, on the hour through Saturday, June 2nd.
Thanks!
