Flooring Repairs Cancelled- What does that mean for us?

So we all just got the email saying that the flooring repairs are no longer happening during intersession.

This will make next week easier, but Library West circulation could still use our help on the desk. They have no student assistants scheduled next week, and are counting on us to help staff the desk.

If you need coverage for a shift, please email the group and we'll find someone to cover for you.

---------------
And of course the good news is that when we DO end up closing for the repairs we already have a plan ready to go!

Info Point Meeting Rehash

Thanks so much for coming to the InfoPoint meeting yesterday! It was great to meet all of you, and to talk about the coming semester. Angela is going to be a tough act to follow, but I will do my best to help our team provide great service to the students and faculty of UF.

I thought it might be useful to post some notes from the meeting:

  • Wiki Schedule - the fall semester schedule is now on a wiki, http://infopoint.wikispaces.com/. The advantage of a wiki is that we can have a truly live schedule. All of you can sign on the wiki and note your shift trades. (If you are not yet a member, email me and let me know. I will send you an invite, and will be happy to train you on using the wiki.)
  • InfoPoint blog - other staff have found the blog so useful, that we are expanding the blog to other public service points. This will include the research assistance desk and the Ask A Librarian staff. The old blog will be migrated over to the new library blog server soon.
  • InfoPoint web page will morph into an InfoPoint libguide soon.
  • Training opportunities (to be scheduled soon)
    • Circulation (including the fabulous self-check stations)
    • Library West information and staffing changes
    • Campus Update - where are the typewriters of yore? The faxes, Peabody Hall, etc.?
    • Using Aleph Staff side
    • Ares
    • IT @ West (including "how to Grover," wireless troubleshooting, signing on with the new Active Directory and more)
  • CIRC FAQ- Jim Stevens is pulling together a FAQ for us to use at the desk. Topics will include summer priveleges, proxy borrowing, fines, renewing rooms, laptops, etc.
  • Vending Machine - We may get a vending machine to sell paper, headphones, white out and other popular office items soon. Users will be able to purchase items using their Gator1 card. Administration is in negotiation with the campus bookstore to set this up, and it is looking good!
