Scope: Since the recent staff changes in 110, it became clear that 107E would need to be used as a receiving/storage area for material coming in and material waiting to be cataloged.  Below is a set of rules we would like staff to follow so that the room is useful for all of us, does not become cluttered, remains easy to manage, and LTS staff can find material sufficiently.

  1.  Leave 3 feet around the receiving tables.  This includes the Acquisitions bar, Serials receiving table (purple), the approval receiving table (teal) and the table being used for miscellaneous material and a place for staff to open boxes (also teal).
  2. Do NOT put boxes on the sorting table behind the pillar in the middle of the room.  This table is used to sort material that goes to the cataloger's backlog shelves.
  3. If you unpack material onto a book truck, please label the truck with a sticky note that includes what the material is, your name and date that you put it there.
  4. If you use any of the tables to unpack material, please be sure to clean up after yourself and don't leave unlabeled material unattended or left on a table.
  5. If you need help opening boxes of material, contact Heidi Kotun Dawes and she can line up a student to unpack for you,
  6. Be a team player and help keep this space clean and organized.
  7. If you need assistance unloading boxes of material from a flatbed or shipping book truck, send an email to the list of staff below who volunteered to unload boxes of material.
