Placement for Hold or Transit Slips inside Library Books

 

When putting a HOLD slip or a TRANSIT slip inside a book, it seems very easy to simply place it inside between the front cover and the first page. Well, that really isn't the best thing to do. When doing that, it increases the likelihood the slip will fall out . While, we may not notice it since we don't process a lot of books, the library mailroom staff certainly notice it. They asked us to make an effort to put the slip between pages farther inside the book. 

Remember to place all HOLD slips or TRANSIT slips inside the book between middle pages. If you need to, take a look at the picture above to see the placement of that slip for an example.

If you have any questions, please speak with a supervisor.

Above & Beyond Award Winner - Joyce Thant

 

We're very happy to announce Joyce Thant as a winner of the Business/SPEA Library Above & Beyond Award for the Spring 2025 semester. As a winner, Joyce is the recipient of a Target gift card.

Joyce was nominated by Matt McGee.

Here's what Matt had to say about Joyce, "If you talk to Joyce for any length of time, you are likely to hear two things from her: 

I’m so busy!

I feel like I’m not doing enough!

The first statement is objectively true. I have lost count of the number of jobs Joyce has and all the committees and organizations she belongs to, along with a full load of classes. Which makes the second statement objectively silly – but also a reflection of Joyce’s work ethic. Which we have benefitted from greatly here at Business/SPEA. She has been a clutch player on many occasions, volunteering to work times that no one else could over breaks and extended hours. She has been a godsend as a Senior PSA, happily filling in the gaps in the schedule that no one else was able to. When working during extended hours last semester and dealing with the weird problems that Workflows always has when our hours change, Joyce put together a very neat and very detailed summary of all the check-outs that evening, all in an effort to make it easier for us to sort out the chaos later.

Which was very true to form for her. She has always approached everything she does for us with the attitude of, “What can I do? How can I help?” For always going above and beyond, thank you, Joyce!" 

Congratulations to Joyce!
Thank you for going Above and Beyond!


Above & Beyond Award Winner - Kathryn Bullock

 


We're very happy to announce Kathryn Bullock as a winner of the Business/SPEA Library Above & Beyond Award for the Spring 2025 semester. As a winner, Kathryn is the recipient of a Target gift card.

Kathryn was nominated by Jeri Anderson

Here's what Jeri had to say about Kathryn, "I'm nominating Kathryn for her willingness to step up and help out the last four Tuesdays of the fall semester by coming in early because we were short staffed. I appreciate Kathryn's ability to step out of her comfort zone as a reference assistant in order to help with checking keys in & out and answering questions. On a personal level, it's comforting to know there's someone else here at the desk if I need to step away for any reason. Being willing to pitch in and help out when needed is a great example of the library's core value of teamwork. Thanks to Kathryn!" 

Congratulations to Kathryn!
Thank You for going Above and Beyond
