Appropriate to the name of the current semester, the ALEPH Circulation System for the State University Libraries of Florida went down for approximately 72 hours, however it appears to be up and running correctly leaving a good deal of physical material in its wake to be back-dated and checked in. Kudos to all of the USF Tampa Library Staff and Student Assistants who worked the Circulation Desk during this period for their incredible patience and effort.
The new shelf-reading assignments for the USF Tampa Library will be posted by the end of the week on the LibGuide Stacks page once all new employees are trained and working by Friday the 4th.
A new policy in the Bookroom goes back to the previous transport schedule of semesters past in that all material will be brought up to the appropriate floors each day. Analysis showed that material was staying within the Bookroom for too long a period of time on the Summer schedule to meet the increased demands of the Fall. More material will be available for patron browsing in the Sorting Areas starting this week than for the first week of Fall.
Also, Circulation Student Assistants finding themselves with down time will be doing work within the Bookroom sorting and loading carts for transports to better utilize available labor and smooth the flow of the Circulating material's return to the shelves.
