Off-campus database access restored

Our Ezprozy server went down last night.  We received word from Bob Stanley that access has been restored. 

Reminder: Please make rounds every hour on first and second floor of the library

Just as a friendly reminder, as finals are approaching we are starting to see heavier foot traffic in the library.  Many of these students may be coming to the library for the first time and may not be aware of our policies.  Please make rounds on the first and second floors every hour to enforce our food and drink policy, also check for any safety hazards such as dangling phone charging cords. 

IMPORTANT CHANGES to Library Circulating Policies

Effective June 2, 2014, we will be switching over to WMS and Circulation Services will be implementing these changes:

·   Student ID Required All library transactions will require a valid IVC or Saddleback student ID. No ID no checkouts.

·   Daily Overdue Fines We will no longer charge a flat fee for overdue fines; instead we will charge a daily fine.  Please see the chart below for rates:

Item Type	Loan Period	Overdue Fines	Maximum Overdue Fine
Books (stacks)	3 weeks	$0.25 per day	$15.00
Audio Visual	3 weeks	$0.25 per day	$15.00
Textbook Reserves	Varies	$1.00 per hour	$50.00
Calculators, headsets, marker sets, other special reserve items	1 day	$1.00 per hour	$50.00

PLEASE NOTE: 

• The above chart shows the textbook reserves will have a fine of $1 per hour instead of the current $5 flat fee.
• When a patron's accruing fine(s) reaches $5.00, he/she will be blocked from additional checkouts until he/she have cleared the fines.

For Kaplan Students:

• They must show their Kaplan ID with valid dates and complete a registration form at the Circulation Desk.
• Kaplan students may only checkout one-item at a time and for one-week only.

If any questions, please feel free to contact Celina.

Library 101 Presenter's Workstation

We have a new iMac presenter's workstation in Library 101.  Adobe Acrobat has been installed.  Also, we have new iClickers as well in case you want to use them during your presentation.  Please contact Tony for more details.

Color Printer out of Black Toner

The color printer is out of black toner.  Circulation has contacted CMS and the part is on its way.  Until then, please inform patrons that the printer is down.  If they need to print color documents, it's best to go to FedEx Kinkos.
