Orange stripes trump all
Ya know how sometimes a box pops up after checking in that tells you to do something with that book? (Such as "Return to Wilson Annex").
Usually, putting these items on the "Return to Circulation" shelf is the way to go. This gets the books on their merry way to the Annex, Law Library, Bio-Med or wherever they actually belong.
But wait!! What if a book has orange tape on it but the computer tells you to send the book somewhere else? In this case, the book still belongs in reserve. This is the one time you should ignore the pop-up message.
I want to mention this because this semester, we have many art books from the Annex that have been placed on reserve. A "Return to Wilson Annex" window will appear, but these books still belong on our reserve shelves.
Just keep this as your mantra=trust the orange stripes. Always shelve these books in our reserve area.
To double check where something belongs, you have two other options:
1) asking full-time staff (always a good idea, especially if you're new to working at the Library)
2) Scan the item into Aleph -- use the "Item" tab -- and see "Sublibrary" for the location of the item. See Margaret for more info on how to do this.
All students please comment to indicate you've read this post. Thanks!

I have read this post. Why would we be getting a message to send it away though? Isn't that disabled while it's part of the Reserve collection? I'm no Aleph expert, that sounds possible.

To answer charlie's question: No, that feature is not disabled when the item is on Reserve. Therefore, the "Return to Wilson Annex" (for example) window will appear even though the book is suppossed to stay in reserve.
