Vinson Workroom/Holds

Hi everyone,

There seems a little confusion about what goes where in the Vinson workroom. This can make it look very cluttered.

• Fliers and other items for display received in delivery (frequently these arrive in envelopes that say "time-sensitive information"):
• These can go out immediately. This can be done by the staff member on Book Drop. I do not need to see them. Please remember the following:
• Only items publicizing events at Vinson and the library card should go on the desks.
• Only items for general HPL events should go on the shelf in the printer room.
• All non-HPL items and items specific to another HPL location should go on the shelf in Express.
• Posters may go up on the wall in the printer room.

• Items checked in for which the cart is in use:
• These can be neatly stacked on the table, at the end near the carts. When the cart is returned they can go on the appropriate cart.

• Items for a specific staff member that arrive in delivery should go on that person's desk or mailbox.

There are also a few things to remember about holds:

• The hold shelf should be cleared every day by the person who does paging.
• If a hold arrives for a staff member, please put it on that person's desk. Do not put it with the public holds.
• Always, always, record the number of items on the paging list, the number of holds processed in delivery, and the number of holds cleared on the stats sheets on the desk.
• If you have to go to the desk before you have finished processing delivery, please leave a sign on the cart so your colleague will know where to pick up.

If you have any questions or concerns, as always, please see me.

Thank you all for everything you every day!

John
