"Recently Returned" status in Cruzcat

Here are the definitions of "Recently Returned" status in the Cruzcat catalog:

S&E Reserves: 15 minutes

everything else: 24 hours

Laptops and iPads update

McHenry laptops are now stored are now stored in the same way as the S&E laptops: each bag contains a laptop and charger of the same number, and can be found in the green cabinet behind the Circ Desk.  The new bags only zip across the top.  We will no longer recharge laptops, but they do come with a charger (that has its own barcode and is checked out also).   iPads are also in the same green cabinet, and will be charged (you'll see a powerstrip next to them inside the cabinet).

Calculators on Reserve

Scientific calculators are on Reserve at both libraries and have a 4-hour checkout time.
At McHenry, they are located in a little box at the beginning of the Reserves shelves, and the barcode is on the back.

New laptops/iPads/calculators/headphones checkout policy

Hi all,

In order to bring our laptop and other equipment lending policies in line with the iPad pilot we have made some changes effective this morning. All laptops, iPads, and calculators can now be checked out for 4 hours at a time. This equipment can be taken outside of the library and may be checked out overnight after 8:30pm. Headphones may also be checked out for 4 hours, but patrons may not take them outside of the library and they cannot be checked out overnight.

If you have any questions please don't hesitate to contact me.
