Numbers on Carts

Take note that NonFiction will be numbering carts that come to their area.
Please DO NOT remove the numbers from the carts!

Also note that we have beautiful new CD spinners. We have shifted CDs from the back wall to the new spinners and are shifting videos to the back wall. Then we'll shift the books on cassette and CD, so there should be room to shelve EVERYTHING!!!

Interesting fact: Did you know that 7/8 of our CDs are usually checked out?

Have a nice day

Please help shelve Fiction!

Hi Pages,
Our AV area seems to have a good advantage with the new AMH system! However, the Fiction (books) could use some help. Thanks for helping alphabetize carts for them. Could you also please help shelve carts? Thanks so much.

I was made aware of one disadvantage to our DVD sorting system. When the morning person pulls holds for the day, it is difficult to find DVDs on the back shelf because they are not in order, and the holds list does not sort by genre. So, lets try this:

I'll have Kathie leave the Pull list on my desk in the morning. Whoever comes in first for the day, please take that list first (before you do anything else) and see which DVDs you can find.

Please let me know if I can clarify anything.

Thanks!
Pam

TGIF!

Welcome to Amy Wulff, our newest Page! We've got a full staff again, and you guys are working wonders here in AV.

Again, Nonfiction carts need to go at the very end of the line-up upstairs. If it is unclear where the end might be (and it often is unclear), feel free to ask someone up there. I think they'd rather be asked than to have you leave it in a random spot.

Please help shelve Fiction or do discharge at the self-induction area, if need be.
When there is nothing else to shelve, please shelf-read the books on cd or cassette, videos, finish the music, or do a regular fiction (book) shelf.

Thanks much!

New Pages, et cetera

Welcome to Heidi and Cassandra who are starting this week!
Please help them out if they have questions, feel free to introduce yourself, show them around, and make them feel welcome.

Adam Werven has returned for a few weeks. Thanks for helping us out, Adam!

NEW things:
1) Look at the date on NEW items. If it is 6 months or older, put the item on my desk so I can remove the NEW status.
2) Nonfiction: If the NEW item is 3 months or older, put on bookshelf in magazine room upstairs. Ask me or someone, if you don't know which bookshelf.
3) Nonfiction green dot DVDs: please put on cart in "telephone reference office"
(Let me show you where that it)
4) Make sure you put the most current nonfiction cart at the very end of the line up of carts.
5) One more thing - they are a bit behind upstairs. If you could put the nonfiction carts in order after you check them, I'm sure they would appreciate it.
