Tenure Portfolios in Seminar A

Starting today members of the Tenure Committee will be stopping at the Ref Desk to gain access to Seminar A and the study carrels containing the portfolios.

Please carefully review the Procedure for Tenure Committee's Use of Seminar A. It is in the left-side drawer of the Ref Desk in the envelope labeled 'Tenure Committee'. It has also been distributed via e-mail.

Key #2

I have fashioned a key chain, for the new interior key for student use, that should make it difficult for somebody to absent-mindedly pocket it (assuming that that is what happened to key #1). It is now in the drawer. Any student using it should understand that if this one disappears there probably will not be a replacement.

Certificate Fixed

There should be no further proplems with off-campus users being confronted with a "certificate expired" message. For details see my recent e-mail. If anyone experiences or hears reports of such problems, please notify me.

Firefox issue resolved

Firefox is once again functional at the reference desk. The problem was due to malware. I downloaded a program to remove the malware, reinstalled Firefox and the problem was solved!

Sabbatical portfolios on 5th floor

Just in case it comes up...

Members of the Professional Development Committee will be visiting the library between Tuesday, Oct. 30, and Monday, Nov. 5, to review sabbatical leave applications. The key is on reserve at the CIRC desk under PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE. Only the people listed on the envelope are allowed to view the portfolios. If anyone asks for directions to the carrel, they are listed on the back of the envelope.

[Alternately, you can direct them to the 5th floor of the tower. The carrel is along the left-most wall (as you get out of the elevator) near the fourth column. It's labeled with a note that says, "PDC."]

I am the main contact for this committee, but I'll be out of town Sun-Wed of next week.

Thanks.

Name Change?

Are we supposed to say "Camden-Carroll Library Research Services Desk, This is ___..." now when we answer the reference phone?

I'm still saying Reference Desk out of habit.
