When checking in items from shipment, make sure the items actually belong here. I’ve found a number of items on the hold shelf that belong at other libraries (for example, I found 4 items the other day that were actually Lima’s requests). So as you’re checking in requested items from shipment, pay attention to the messages on the screen–it will tell you if the item belongs elsewhere. Of course someone made a mistake by sending these items to us, but we do need to make sure to catch the mistake and re-route them to the proper location.

Helpful hint: Materials that have been requested by us should have 521 written somewhere on the OhioLINK sticker. OSU items should have MAN written somewhere on the paging slip. But the best method as always is just to carefully watch the screen when checking in items 🙂

That is all…

ID requirements, shipment and such

by

Welcome the student memo blog! This is where I’ll post updates or instructions for you from time to time–things that I think are important enough to write down and share with everyone. Once you’ve read a post, if you could put your initials in the comments field below (e.g. “LA”) that would be most appreciated.

1) Make sure to ask everyone who checks out materials for a university ID/photo ID. Even if you know who they are, they must show a photo ID to check out. This is the major rule not to break.

If a faculty/staff member doesn’t have his or her university ID, we do try to be flexible. But please check with Vanessa or me (or Kay) to verify if you are not familiar with the faculty/staff person making the request.

2) For those of you who work on incoming shipment on a regular basis, I’d like to request that you wait until I arrive to work on it. There are a couple of things I’d like to go over:

  • For now, if you see any Pickup Anywhere items with a bright green band/sticker and/or bright green slip inside the book, do NOT check these items in with Sierra. Please start giving them to me. If they get checked in incorrectly, the request gets deleted, I have to contact Columbus, and Columbus has to contact the lending library–this is a major pain(which I’ve had to do multiple times this week!)
  • Remember to check the list of faculty/staff who want reserves sent to their offices before filing holds on the hold shelf
  • When you send requested materials to a faculty/staff person’s office, remember to check the items out first
  • Also, remember to address the envelopes before placing them in campus mail too
  • Super important: Make sure everything is getting checked in with Sierra. I’ve found a number of books on the shelves that haven’t been properly checked in.

3) One last thing: thanks for being awesome! We’re over halfway through the semester, and you all have done such a wonderful job. If I don’t say it enough, I really do appreciate you guys 🙂
