SCROOGES! That's what we are....

When people come to the desk looking for us to print stuff for them, kindly direct them to the UCard machine where they can deposit money to their UCard, or they can purchase a guest card. They can also deposit money online to their card if they don't happen to have cash. Direct them to the UCard website to do this. People should not depend on us to print stuff for them from "our" guest cards. Use the guest cards sparingly; in the event that a patron's printout is defective due to equipment failure or in the case where the UCard machine is down. Thanks!

SURVEY THIS WEEK!

You will be asked to participate in the LC survey...your supervisor will ask you to go around the LC at the :30 of every hour to count people in the LC...

This is very important as the data will be used to make future decisions regarding the LC.

FAQ Sheet for where things are in Du Bois, etc....

A link to the FAQ sheet has been added to the blog under "Useful Links"

EVERYBODY!

If you haven't done so already, please send your email and your contact phone number to cwill@library.umass.edu

We generate a list so that you can email or call folks in case you need a replacement for your shift.

Speaking of that, did you know that if you know you will need to miss a shift that it is your responsibility to find a replacement? If you have any questions about this, talk to any of the supervisors.

Supervisors phone numbers:
Emily Alling (LC Coordinator) 545-6740
Larry Newman 545-7892
Myles Sullivan 545-7894
Peter Tigner 545-7893

Hey, just what you were looking forward to...the newly revised (but not too revised) document of what we should all be doing while working at the desk. Please take time to read it thoroughly and do keep reading the blog.

Just look for the link to the right called: What should I be doing while on my shift?


Thanks.

Remember...to punch out at the end of your shift...otherwise your check might get screwed up. Also, be sure to fill out the blue sheet and the white sheet in the orange/red notebook. This way I can go back and see when you worked in case the Kronos clockin/clockout system goes awry.

New feature coming to the LC! What do you think?

WELCOME BACK EVERYBODY!

Hopefully you all had a great summer. Can you believe it? We all (the supes) had to work all summer! We really missed you guys!

Some things are the same and some things have changed. We'll be telling you about the changes on your shifts. Also, we'll be posting the new rules and regs about the operations of the LC desk.

If you have any questions, please ask us. Try to bear with us as we update you on the new policies and procedures.

Thanks!
