Calculators Batteries, Cash drawer key

A couple more things…

  1. Replacement batteries for graphing calculators. For OSU students (yellow graphing calculators): Send them to the math lab, AKA Conard Learning Center, down the hall from us.  For NCSC students (dark blue graphing calculators): We will still replace the batteries here, recording the calculator number and date like usual.
  2. Don’t leave the cash drawer key in the lock or leave the cash drawer unlocked. The auditor will be be visiting us soon–and in general, we should always should be careful with the drawer (this goes for me too!)
  3. When pulling paging slips, always check the item’s barcode to make sure it matches. Sometimes items have similar call numbers to one another. Be sure the item’s barcode matches the number listed on the paging slip (hint: check the last four digits). If the correct item isn’t pulled, the request can’t be filled–it’s item number specific.

Hi all…just a couple things to be aware of…

  1. Program 60 Patron. If a Mary Sue Edmiston (a Program 60 patron) comes in, I have a library card for her. It’s in the file cabinet that also has the cash drawer, except it’s in the middle drawer (not the cash drawer). It has her name on it. All she needs to do is sign it, and it’s ready to use. P.S. Program 60 is an OSU program that allows people 60 and over to take classes here for free. As a Program 60 participant, she has can check out up to 10 books (5 of which can be borrower through OhioLINK). The ID number she would use when requesting the books is the barcode number on the back of her library card).
  2. Calculators. As of right now, we are out of graphing calculators for both OSU and NCSC. However, the OSU math lab (AKA Conard Learning Center) might be providing us with more graphing calculators (for OSU students only) — but I don’t know when or how many we’ll be getting. More details to come! We do have some remaining scientific calculators, but these need to be limited to OSU STUDENTS ONLY since there are so few left.
