LC Desk Daily

An interactive blog for student staff to not only learn about library updates and policies affecting the LC desk, but also information and techno literacy. Your comments are crucial!!

Thursday, August 24, 2006

We'd like to request that folks refrain from playing around with the LC desk computer settings. These computers are used by a lot of people and it's tempting to want to change things...but please leave them as is. The supervisors are the only people who should be changing the computer settings. These are not for personal use.

Thanks!

NEW POLICY AT THE DESK REGARDING HEADPHONES/CALCULATORS!

Our apologies but we are no longer handing out headphones/calculators at the desk. Patrons can be directed to the earbuds in the vending machine. There is a graphing calculator on the library-side computers and numerous online ones.
