Happy Birthday to Carlos this month (15)!  We'll celebrate with treats on Thursday, September 28.

Core Values

The Core Values of the BSIC are:

Service: positive, friendly, respectful interactions

Integrity: honest and conscientious in what we do

People Focused: dedicated to personal, staff, and community needs

Teamwork: having fun and working together for the good of the library and community

Knowledge: committed to learning more and being better

Take a moment this week to really think about how you apply each of these core values in the work you do.  Then go sign the new core values poster, sitting below the new Staff Directory. (Not sure where?  Just ask!)

Quiz Answers

Great job everyone on the quiz!  Be sure to read the answers below to see how you did.

1. A reservation that was less than 2 hours can be extended anytime to be the full two hours.  A reservation that is 2 hours can be extended up to 15 minutes before its end time, for up to another 2 hours.  Reservations can only be extended if the room is available.  If the room is not available, you can make another reservation for the student in another available room, but be sure to add this to LibCal.

 2. Yes, the woman from a nearby town, who is not affiliated with IU, can get a guest account to access an ebook in our collection.  See a fulltime staff member for help creating this account.

3. To look-up a Reserve book that you can't find on the shelf, go to iucat.iu.edu, click "Reserves" to only look for Reserve items, look up the item (by course number, professor name, title), and check the location on the returned results.

 4. A LibCal booking record should be updated to show that the user showed up only after checking-out the key in Workflows and handing it to the patron. 

BSIC Quiz Time

Library pong at the All-Staff Meeting was great fun, but we didn't have time to get to all of the questions.  So it's time for part one of a "take-home" quiz to not only test your BSIC knowledge, but to also see who is reading this. 


Send me (dmgunkel@iu.edu) an email with your answers to all four questions below by next Thursday, September 14.


1. When can a room reservation be extended?   


2. A woman from a nearby town, who is not affiliated with IU, wants to access an ebook from our collection.  Is she allowed to do this?


3. You can't find a reserve book on the shelf.  What are the steps you would take to see if it's checked out?


4. When should a LibCal booking record be updated to show that the user showed up?

Pictures

I'll be coming around this week to get pictures for our staff directory.  This is only required for all of our new staff, but if anyone would like a new photo for the directory let me (Danielle) know.
