We are now using Desk Tracker at the Reserve desk to track questions asked that are not reserve related. These include questions about how to use the Microfilm Scanners, finding an article from a specific journal, where can i find the nearest restroom, to name a few. Desk Tracker is located on both computers and should be up in a browser at all times. There is a handout up at the desk that has the password on it.
There have been too many occurrences of Reserve items not being checked in. This needs to stop. Make sure you check in materials as soon as there have been returned either in the book drops or handed in at the desk. If this continues certain desk privileges may be revoked.

Good Luck on your Finals!!
'Twas the night before finals and all through the college,The students were praying for last-minute knowledge.
Most were quite sleepy but none touched their beds, While visions of essays danced in their heads.
Out in the taverns a few were still drinking, And hoping that liquor would loosen their thinking
In my own room, I had been pacing, and dreading exams I soon would be facing.
My roommate was speechless, his nose in his book, And my comments to him drew unfriendly looks.
I drained all the coffee, and brewed a new pot, No longer caring that my nerves were shot.
I stared at my notes, but my thoughts were all muddy; My eyes went a blur, and I just couldn't study.
"Some pizza might help," I said with a shiver, But each place I called refused to deliver.
I'd nearly concluded that life was too cruel, With futures depending on grades earned in school.
When all of a sudden our door opened wide And Patron Saint "Put-It-Off" ambled inside.
His spirit was careless, His manner was mellow, But summoning effort he started to bellow:
"What kind of student would make such a fuss To toss back at teachers what they toss at us?
On Cliff Notes! On Crib Notes! On Last Year's Exams! On Wingit and Slingit, and Last-Minute Crams!"
His message delivered, he vanished from sight, But we heard him laughing outside in the night:
"Your teachers have pegged you, so just do our best... Happy Finals to All, and to All, a good test."
