Portable DVD Players

The 3 portable DVD players that were in the reserve room with the laptops now have a new home. If students ask for them, you can refer them to Non-Print.

2 day reserve textbook

Please note: I have added two new books into the reserves: Structures of Life: General, Organic, and Biological Chemistry, vol 1 & 2.

Volume 1 (Item #B-823) is a 2 DAY reserve. That means that a student can check this item out and take it with them and keep it for 2 days. You'll need to charge, desensitize, and write the correct due date on the book. A fine of $5 is charged for each DAY that this book is overdue.






















Volume 2 (Item #B-824) is a 2 HOUR reserve. Treat it as you normally would a reserve book.

New computer furniture

The library is getting new computer furniture for the second floor (the area in front of the Circulation desk.) Things may get a little hectic with the temporary loss of the use of those computers. HOWEVER, the library instruction classroom (CL2220) has been reserved for GPC students so they can have access to computers. This move should not affect our day-to-day schedule with the exception of pointing students in the direction of the classroom.

*******************************************************

Here's a basic timeline of the furniture installation, outlined by Eva in an email:

November 22

In the morning, OIT will take down all the student use computers and printers on 2nd and 3rd floors including the reference desk computers

By late morning, early afternoon the movers will begin removing the old furniture, including the reference desk from the building as well as moving some larger pieces to different areas of the building. Some of the 3rd floor furniture that is currently used for student computers will be moved into Nonprint area so we can take advantage of some of the floor electrical outlets for student use.

November 23-24

Plant services will work on electrical outlets and data line installation with all the old furniture out of their way

November 25-28

Holidays!!

November 29-30

New furniture installation

December 1-2

OIT will install all the student use/reference desk computers and printers on the new furniture


The library classroom, CL2220 has been reserved during this time for GPC students to have access to computers. Reference librarians and assistants will staff the classroom during the move-- Ann will provide more details when she sends out the reference desk schedules for the next two weeks.

Yes, it there will be some inconvenience for everyone, but it should be worth it! Everyone might want to dress casually during all of this.

Polishing

Hi all,

Recently we decided to pare down our reserves collection of The Polishing Cloth. Most of the collection has been relocated to the stacks on the 3rd floor. There are currently 4 copies of The Polishing Cloth on reserve now. They have been re-numbered Item #P-1, Item #P-2, Item #P-3, and Item #P-4. Most students who come to the desk to check out The Polishing Cloth usually want the most recent edition (#P-4) and ask for it by name.

Please let me know if you have any questions!
