Reference terminal

All,

The reference terminal on the left ("driver's") side is not working. There is a problem with the port. IT has been notified. There is also no phone service on that side. In the meantime, there is a laptop there for Internet searches. Obviously, there is no MilCirc or reservation queue access on that side.

***Update***
It has been fixed! Yay!


Thanks,
John

Update on #23

Workstation #23 now has Office on the desktop and can be used normally again.

Thanks,
John

October Calendar

Good Morning,

I made a blunder and forgot to reserve the meeting room for the book club on the third Thursday of the month. I had already sent in the template(with book club listed on the 21st of October) to print shop to have the 600 copies of it printed out. Tim and I have decided to have it on the 4th Thursday. This will be on the 28th of October. When the calendars come in from the print shop, please just give them to me so that I can correct them before we put them out.

Thanks,

Patrick

Workstation #23

All,

Workstation #23 in the Igloo does not have Microsoft Office icons appearing on the screen. It has been reported, but in the meantime, we can still use it. Office products are still accessible if one has a documents on a flash drive and opens them. Otherwise, it is available for Internet access only for the moment.

Thanks,
John

Meeting Room Reminders

All,

Please remember the following when taking meeting room reservations:

*Always get the person's phone number so we can contact them if there is a problem.
*Write down the information on the note pad, so it can be entered in Program Registration.
*Write down cancellations on the same pad, noting that is a cancellation
*We are taking reservations through November because of our scheduled closure in December. It's fine to tell people why we can't take reservations for December.

If you have any questions, please see me.

Thanks,
John

Earphones for sale

We now have earphones for sale for $2.00 a set. They are rung up on Smart Money under "Miscellaneous" and then "Earphones".

The actual earphones will be kept in a box in the cabinet under the old cash register.

I have asked Mike and they are looking into our having HPL tote bags for sale as well. Stay tuned.

Thanks.
John

FLIP Kits - Everyone please read

Hello,

I know John mentioned these in the meeting yesterday, but I wanted to put the info on the blog for those who were unable to attend. These new kits are from the Children's Museum. They include a book and an activity, and are in yellow/black mesh bags. Each kit is color-coded by age group from infant to 2nd grade. They are to be placed on hooks on the yellow house in the children's area.

Important: When a patron returns the kit, all we do is check it in. We DO NOT have to do an inventory of the items; please just make sure the book is in the kit. After the kits are checked in for the patron, they are to go back to the Children's Museum to be replenished. When we receive the kits from CMH, they will have a "replenished" or "refurbished" sticker on them to let us know we can put them out. If you have any questions, please let me know.
