Room Reservations to End for This Semester

From April 8 until the end of the semester, all rooms will be on a first-come, first-served basis.  This means we will not accept reservations for rooms 154, 156, 158, and 160 during this period of time.

Oftentimes guests ask why we've stopped accepting reservations.  Maybe you're wondering this yourself.  It's a reasonable question, to which we have a reasonable answer:  Rooms are heavily in demand during these weeks (I-Core and finals).   Reserved rooms generally have some dead-time between reservations.  For example, if room 154 has a reservation from 2:30-4:30 and another reservation from 5:00-7:00, there is a half hour when the room is vacant.  By eliminating reservations, we eliminate dead-time and open the rooms to full use.  During these busy times, we want to make the rooms available to as many groups as possible.

Should any guest have special needs or become upset over the inability to make a room reservation, get your supervisor.

Smiling Faces

Ever wondered the name of your co-worker who comes in just as your shift is ending?  Wonder no more!  Take a look at the Smiling Faces of BUSP posted on the wall above the staff mailboxes. 

Not sure where the staff mailboxes are located?  Just ask your supervisor.  He/she will be glad to point them out to you.

Celebration!

Please join us from 2:00-3:00 next Monday, April 1, as we celebrate Christina's appointment as Head of the Business/SPEA Information Commons.  It would be so good to see you there!

Subbing on Sunday, March 31

Have you missed a shift or two and need to pad your time bank balance?  This Sunday will be the perfect time to pick up some hours.  If you sub this Sunday, you  will have one hour added to your time bank for each hour worked, instead of the usual 1/2 hour for each hour worked.

Not sure where your time bank balance stands?  Check with Terry (treynold@indiana.edu).  Do remember that  in order to be eligible for employment next fall, you must end this semester with no less than a zero balance in your time bank. 

Why all this strictness regarding attendance?  BUSP can't do without you, that's why.  The work you do is just too important!

Lost & Found

Got someone looking for a lost beloved item?  If it's not in our lost & found cabinet, you can refer the person to our two schools' lost & found.  The Kelley lost & found is located just down the hall from us in Kelley room 141; The SPEA lost & found is located in room 310 of the SPEA Building.

Caught in the Act

Matt F. was Caught in the Act of doing all the work necessary to put our reserve collection in its new arrangement.  Thanks Matt, for using your brain and your muscles to make our reserves easier to find and shelve!
