This would be a 2 year appointment; the group meets monthly; and the committee is involved with employee excellence awards, recognition fund, holiday, spring picnic, and convocation.

Please contact me a.s.a.p. if you are interested. Thanks, Steve

Remember folks, it’s cleaning day in the Acq & Cat Depts. – time to spruce up the place and throw out the junk. Free Pizza at lunchtime is your reward. Ask Laydene for details.

In order to improve the workflow of EDI invoice processing, and as agreed with the Paying Unit and E-Resources staff, each fiscal year, the Serials Unit will create new order records in Aleph to post service charges from serial vendors.

At the end of each fiscal year, I will notify you and the vendors of the new orders records.

For FY 2009-2010, the orders have been created and are as follows:

As you notice, there are three order records created for EBSCO service charges. This will assist the Paying Unit (Jack) to keep track of service charges by material format.

I have notified EBSCO, HARR,and SWETS of these changes and have requested that they update the reference number for service charges on their paper and EDI invoices. This will assure that these charges  are posted on the right orders either through EDI or manual processing.

I have received confirmation from HARR and will issue an update when I hear back from EBSCO and SWETS.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks, Raimonda

It’s time again for an Acquisitions get-together. Mark your calendars for next Tuesday, August 18, 10am-11am for an Acquisitions Department meeting in Smathers 200A. Agenda will be a round robin discussion, no set topics other than what you bring to the table.

But wait, that’s not all. Mark your calendar again, same day, 11:30 – 12:30-ish for the July-August-September Birthday-Bash this time brought to you by Paying Unit Productions. Bring a covered dish, brunch-lunch type food/snax or drink, or a cash donation to help provide them. Volunteers for setup/cleanup also greatly appreciated.

Look forward to seeing y’all. –Jack Waters for Paying Unit Productions

Student accounts must be renewed each semester.
Summer semester student accounts will expire on Thursday, August 13, 2009.

Please have someone in your department request account renewals through the GROVER system for any students currently working this summer who will be returning to work for you the Fall semester.

(note: in our dept. each Unit Manager or student supervisor can authorize this renewal)

All returning students from Fall 2008 or Spring 2009 will need to be rehired through Library HR.

Aleph accounts will expire at the same time for students. You can include this in the request by providing their Aleph User ID, and stating that Aleph needs to be renewed as well.
