Access Services Department
Monthly Report
September 2012
Access Services Activities
We had a fairly typical month. Student assistant management remained busy – both with timesheets, needed updates to our Blackboard training site, getting their pictures in so that we can learn who is who, and their day to day task management.
Study room requests were heavy this month, and seemed higher than normal, which means we could be in for a very busy exam season.
Additionally, I updated reserves policy to reflect the change in the access point from the Library to Blackboard, and dealt with numerous student fee issues.
Library Activities
I participated in/attended the following Library events in the month of September:
September 19th – Information Literacy session for Beth Froeba’s Freshman Seminar class
September 25th – Goodreads book club meeting
September 27th – Liaison Luncheon
September 27th – Second Life book club reading from George Orwell’s 1984
I planned, gathered materials, and with the help of my student assistant Brittany, assembled the Library’s annual Banned Books Week Display. Jean and I are both posting on Facebook this week about our favorite banned books to celebrate the 30th anniversary of Banned Books Week. I am also participating in the Banned Books Week virtual read out on YouTube later in Banned Books Week.
