Spring Semester Scheduling

I will begin scheduling for spring semester at 8:30 a.m. next Monday, Nov. 14. See me or give me a call (812-855-8552) to schedule your hours. I cannot schedule hours by e-mail. Remember that the sooner you schedule, the greater your chances of getting the hours that are perfect for you.

Thanks for all.

Top Secret Information

Did you know you handle secret information every time you clock in at BUSP? It's against federal law to disclose what someone has borrowed from a library or information commons. Every check out we make, from books to room keys, is private information. This means we can't tell Sally who has checked out the reserve book she needs. It means we can't tell Joe what room his group is using. (We can tell him he's welcome to peek in all the room windows to find his group.) It even means we should keep our reservation book to ourselves. Got someone standing in front of you begging for information you can't give them? Tell your supervisor. He/she will reinforce your stand on privacy.

Happenings in November

Daylight Savings Time ends at 2:00 a.m. on Sunday, Nov. 6.

Scheduling for spring semester hours at BUSP will begin on Nov. 14. You'll be reminded of this as the time draws closer.

Thanksgiving break:You are responsible for your shifts until we close at 6:00 on Tuesday, Nov. 22. BUSP will resume its usual hours on Sunday, Nov. 27. Please remember to post sub notices for any shifts you will miss. Anyone subbing on Sunday, the 27th, will receive one hour added to his/her timebank for each hour worked, instead of the usual half hour added for each hour worked. If your time bank is low in hours, this is a good opportunity to beef it up.

I-Core: Be sure to rest up over Thanksgiving as I-Core case groups will be flooding BUSP when we return.

Thanks for all.

Reminder to All First Mates

If you are occupying the First Mate's chair (the one closest to the drinking fountain), it's your job to check in all returned books and PUT THEM IN CALL NUMBER ORDER ON THE SHELVES UNDER THE DESK. Please don't shirk your duty. The books come in a few at a time, so the job is easy when done right away. If you're not familiar with Library of Congress call numbers, let your supervisor know. He/she will be happy to tell you all you need to know about putting books in order.

Such a deal!

Want to earn a bit of extra money? Time bank balance looking a little low? The sub board abounds with notices right now. Take a look at them, and sign up for the shifts that work for you. You can feel good about helping out a co-worker and BUSP, while padding your own pocket.

Trees!

No doubt you've noticed the beauty of the trees as you've been walking to class and to BUSP. If it's a slow day at the desk, and you'd like to be dazzled by more than just their leaves, click here to view a publication put out by SPEA regarding the trees on our campus.

What if...

What if someone walks up to the desk and hands you a lost ID? Or what do you do when you find someone's ID while you're at BUSP? Give it to your supervisor, please. He/she will contact the person to let them know their ID has been found.
