Veterans Center Books, etc...

Hi,

FYI: to make room for YA, the Veterans Center Books will be interfiled and
the newsletters will go in newspapers; Long Island and genealogy books
will be stored on shelves in hallway in lower level for easy access. 
Oversized books will stay on the shelving unit, which will be moved closer
to the Reference Desk.  This is all temporary, work is scheduled to take
about 3 months.

Thanks!
Susan

Overdrive App Problems

There are problems with an update Overdrive pushed out to their app on iOS devices. They know and are working to correct this issue. As a result patrons may discover that they have lost their checkouts and their reading history. It may help to uninstall and reinstall the app. SCLS will keep us updated with any notices they get from Overdrive. If there is anything SCLS can do please let me know – like returning titles so that they can check out new titles - I will submit problems through the SCLS Help Desk. Email me the particulars, most importantly patron's name and barcode #.

How to post comments?

I guess this is the method for posting, but don't know how to edit my post or add a comment to another post.
Did I miss a training session?

If you Sign in with a google account (Google owns blogger.com) you should be able to edit and comment. Since Google owns blogger they are trying to get everyone in the world to have a gmail account.
Remember you can always post by sending an email. 

Part-timers Folders

In the bottom drawer, on the right side of the Reference Desk are now file folders for Tom, Brad, and Dave. Feel free to put things for them in there. (especially their paychecks). They will know to look there.

Reference Stats

I hope everyone has been using our Reference Statistics page to help us tally the number of questions asked at the Reference Desk.

To that, I am going to ask that you NOT check multiple boxes on the page (it has to do with how the information is tabulated after you click Submit).

This would be a great help to me. Apologies in advance for the mild inconvenience.

Thanks, Sarah

Patron Printing

Remember you can always bring up patron print jobs at the Reference Desk and move one to the RefDesk printer if there is a need. Click on the print job's printer to change the printer destination.
There is no need for a patron to re-send their job.  So while one is printing at the public printer, another could be printing at the Reference Desk. Just take payment manually.

Performance Tickets

In order to make it more convenient for the patrons, so as to not have them walk back and forth from Reference to Circulation, we will begin distributing performance tickets at the Reference Desk.
They are on top of the Reference Desk - limit 4 person, unless otherwise noted.
We are not publicizing this, we are just making it easier for patrons should they be at the Reference desk and ask.
