Returned Kindle processing reminder

We've had a few Kindle check-outs lately, so I just wanted to take this opportunity to remind everyone about a few processing details both for checking out and checking in the Kindles.

One of the most important things is to remember to update the sign behind the desk. All of the desk staff use that sign to determine which Kindles are in or out when patrons ask at the desk.

Also, remember that during the day you need to find Heidi, Jeanne, myself, Belinda, or Emily (probably in that order) to process Kindles that are coming back. DO NOT DISCHARGE THE KINDLE YOURSELF. We need to make sure that all of the parts are there and that nothing is damaged before the Kindle is discharged or we lose the information about who had it checked out.

SCs need to put the Kindle back in the vault and put a note on it that it needs to be checked in. DO NOT DISCHARGE THE KINDLE!!!!

Kindles and Laptops

We now have additional laptops available for 3 hour check out.  They are all re-labeled, and the cabinet has been re-labeled to accommodate them all.  They are also in Voyager, and should be all ready to check out.

Since the cabinet is now full with the laptops, the Kindles have been moved into the vault.  If you process a Kindle that has been returned, please be sure it is fully charged before you return it to the vault.
