Fines

There have been a lot of borrowers coming in with huge fines lately. Decided to advertise the resources we have within the libraries repertoire to help people avoid fines. To this end I have continued the 'Ask a librarian' theme on the display boards but ask the borrower do they know about ELF or ONLINE resources. We ran out of pamphlets the first day the display was up.

Library week

Have just finished putting up displays which encourage patrons to "Ask a Librarian" Might be my imagination but reference inquiries seem to have increased. While no one has really asked the answers to the questions posted on the display board with out being prompted I think the message may be getting through in a subliminal way. This week has certainly been more interesting on the information finding front.

Internet training

Went to the Internet Training Jenny did last week. Funny how one thinks they are competent, I thought so, only to find out the truth in that saying..."but wait there's more..." Learned about a dozen things, some little some not so little that I didn't know before. Thanks to Jenny for quietly pointing out the things I should have known but didn't and things I never knew.
