Starting tomorrow, we'll be staffing the Information Point kiosk while Library West is closed to patrons for repairs. There are a few changes from the prior plan, the main one being that instead of the kiosk being right outside of West, we'll be inside Library East. I think this will be much more comfortable for everyone! It's just been so brutally hot lately.

As far as procedures and policies go, Ben Walker will be sending out an email with details soon.

I wanted to make sure you all know what lines of communication you will have available when staffing this kiosk:

You will have a walkie talkie with circulation staff on the other end at all times. The signal isn't great in East, so you may have to move closer to the door if you can't hear.

You will be able to email the Access Services Dept email address. This email address will go to all the Access Services staff (including ILL, EReserves, Stacks and ALF) so you'll definitely hear back from someone immediately.

We HOPE you'll also have a wireless phone available to call the main Access Services number 3-2525. We'll know more about whether they have the phone ready soon.

Keep and eye out for Ben's email about how we'll handle ILL pickups and the in-library use only items, reserves drop-offs, ILL drop-offs, Hold pickups (from storage and from West), and requests for unavailable materials in West (including current periodicals, reference, DVDs and Videos).

One more thing, as some of you know the IB students are hear doing research. The West books they are working with, or that they request from West, will all be moved over to Marston Science Library. So any IB student looking for their books will need to head over to MSL.

Any questions can be referred directly to me, Ben or emailed to the Access Services Dept email list.

---------
Side note: You'll notice the Meebo Room on the right side of the blog. We were testing this as another avenue of communication. It's public though, and so we couldn't rely on it if we had to discuss patron or other sensitive information. Feel free to play with it though!

The reorganization does have some effect on all of us on the Information Point. I'm sure there are other issues that will come up over time, but for now, I've addressed the ones I've thought of below.

----------
With the reorganization we no longer have a Systems Liason in Access Services (or an Access Services for that matter).

The biggest change that will make when you're on the desk is probably in how to report Xerox problems. Before the reorganization we had a flowchart to follow in how to report issues with the Xerox equipment. Well it's a LOT simpler now actually!

If you have patrons reporting any problems with the card machines, printing or copyright equipment, just send a Syshelp email. Be sure to describe the problem, the type of equipment and the location of the equipment (including which floor and library it's in). Systems will handle it from there.

----------
Other things you might be wondering about:

If you have any questions about Circulation issues, study carrels or anything else relating to the circulation desk Jim Stevens is the guy to see (not Lori).

ILL and Reserves questions still go to their respective units.

----------
And the big question you've been wondering...what's happening with the Information Point?

As many of you know, I'm now a part of the Access Support unit in the Support Services division (cloud? box? you know what I mean). Since the Information Point is clearly a Library West service, it needs to be coordinated by someone in Library West.

I met with Shelley, LeiLani, Jana and Michael D. yesterday to talk about the transition. While Library West will definitely be taking over the coordination of the Information Point I will continue to coordinate until plans for the transition are complete.

We will also hold a Team meeting sometime this month so we can all meet with the new coordinator (still to be determined). You'll have a chance to ask questions and find out what if any changes are being planned for the future.

For my part, I'm definitely planning on continuing to serve on the Information Point, so I'll still be a member of the team!

In honor of Black History Month, Kimberlin Butler, director of foundation engagement, provides an account of Dr. Sadie Tanner Mossell Alexander’s notable career as a Black economist and lawyer and how her legacy is inspiring a new generation of changemakers.

Attending a KIPP school led to a 10-13 percentage point improvement in the likelihood of enrolling in college.

To better understand its schools’ contributions to students’ learning in the first four grades, the Maryland State Department of Education partnered with the Regional Educational Laboratory Mid-Atlantic to explore constructing a school-level growth measure for kindergarten to grade 3.

In the United States, a range of social issues can negatively impact parenting, which in the worst of circumstances results in children entering the child welfare system.
