****New Changes****

All physical Reserves go out for a 3 hour loan period.  ALL!

****New Changes****

Microforms viewing, saving, and printing has now moved downstairs to the Learning Commons.  It is located in the room left of the FAX24 machine.  Patrons still request the Microforms online in the card catalog using the request Microform link.  They then pick up the retrieved Microforms at the Circ/Reserves Desk.  If they need any help using the machines they can talk to the staff at the Learning Commons and Technical Support Desk.  If they need help with research or requesting Microforms they can go to the Reference and Research Assistance Desk.

If you have any questions about this please let me know!

All Reserves are now 3 hour loans.

Starting on June 10th, 2011 all Reserves will be 3 hour loans.  Most Reserves are allowed out of the building, there are a few exceptions.  Also you may renew as long as no one else is waiting.  All renews must be done at the Circ/Reserves Desk in the LL.

****New Changes****

The only change to report is Reserve books can now leave the building.

What shoud I do if one of the other library desks is not staffed?

If it is supposed to be staffed then have the patron check back in a few minutes. It could be possible that the staff at the desk are away helping someone at the moment. If they don't come back then give the patron the main number for the desk...

Where are course books located?

Basically anything class related or that is put here by a teacher is on the Reserve located at the LC Desk on the Lower Level. This could include a movie, old exams, class notes, textbooks, other books, course packets etc... Anything for a class that they are supposed to physically come in here for should be on there.
