REMOVING BOOKS FROM THE NEW BOOKS SHELF
(In GA/Staff member’s Alma account):
Placing an ILL request: When a book or article is needed and Wiggins Library doesn't have a copy available, the patron can request the material from another library using the online ILLiad form. InterLibrary Loan book requests usually arrive within 4-5 days; articles within 2-3 days.
Picking up an ILL item: Patrons can pick up ILL items at the Circulation Desk; they are shelved alphabetically by patron last name on the top shelf of the bookcase to the right of the service desks. When a patron comes to pick up a book, have them sign and date the slip of paper in the book, and remind them to keep the orange sleeve and information tag on the book. Put their signed slip in the box NEXT TO the mailbox in Ms. Berry's office (on top of the bookshelf to your right when entering her office from the Circ office.)
Returning an ILL item: When a patron returns an ILL book, place it on the ILL Returns shelf on the tall wall unit in Ms. Berry's office .
Questions? Please see a GA or staff member.
When you arrive for each shift, your first priorities are:
1) Make sure that no one needs immediate help at the desk and that the area is clear of extraneous materials.
2) Shelve books (after you scan them in using 'Return Item' in Alma). Collect books left on the stacks carts whenever you're shelving; back at the Services Desk, do a 'Scan In Item' with the In-House Use button checked.
3) Check in with your supervisor and, if there is ample desk coverage, go do inventory, shelf reading or, with a partner, shifting.
When these tasks are completed, you may be looking for something to do:
When checking out books to someone who has an overdue fine, kindly inform them of the fine amount. Let them know that they can pay in cash here or we can send it to the Business Office if the fine is at least $1.00. Fines older than three weeks are sent to the Business Office weekly.
