McHenry's new iPads

McHenry Library has acquired five 16GB WiFi Apple iPads.

These iPads may be checked out by UCSC students, faculty and staff as four-hour reserve items at the McHenry Library Access Desk.

Reserve books in the Media Center

I just had two questions where it turned out that books were on reserve in the Media Center. It made sense since the classes were for music and language courses. But if you are like me and have the bad habit of assuming that if a location says "Media Center" it won't be a book I want to caution you to double check. In both cases the patrons and I initially thought the book wasn't immediately available but when we looked more closely happily discovered that, while the McHenry Reserves copy was checked out, the Media Center copy was available.

Call numbers for Reserves

Just a reminder that students need to have call numbers when requesting reserve materials at both Circulation Desks. If you are helping a student locate an item that is on reserve be sure to encourage them to jot down the call number before they head off to the Circ. Desk.

Thanks, Frank

New ILL manual forms

Hi all,

There was a time when community patrons without library accounts needed to complete a paper request form for items held at NRLF. No more! We now have online forms, which don't authenticate using library barcodes, so all those patrons who can't use Request can use these forms.

The forms are linked from the ILL pages (on the right hand side, under "Related Links"), and they live here:

books: http://library.ucsc.edu/services/borrowing/ill-manual-book-request-form
articles: http://library.ucsc.edu/services/borrowing/ill-manual-article-request-form

Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks,
Sarah
