Course Reserve for Ah Haa "Build Your Dream Home"

Sue Beresford has placed a number of items on reserve here at the library for those participating in her Ah Haa course during the month of October. They are primarily intended for shared use in the library over the month of October, but Sue has said that she is fine with us overriding the in-library use only policy if students really need to take them home. Use your discretion.

All of these books have green paper around the cover that identifies them as reserve materials belonging behind the Ref Desk.

Some of these items are WPL books. For these we have changed the status of the items to "In Library Use Only." This should prevent PIH holds from being placed on these items and alert folks that may be searching for these items that there is something different about them -- hopefully avoiding long fruitless searching and accidental changing to "missing" status.

There are also books that Sue requested through PIH and ILL. These books have been checked out to Sue's account and she is aware that she is ultimately responsible for these items. We agreed to let her store them on our shelf and share them with her class.

If someone convinces you to check one of these items out to them, please make certain that you check them out to that patron's library card. This is probably obvious, but for the ILL and PIH books, we'll want to make sure we take them off of Sue's account before we check them out. Ask the patron to return them to the Ref Desk if possible and check anything not owned by WPL back out to Sue Beresford when they have been returned.

It's exciting that we can offer this type of service to the community. Let's work together to think of ways to streamline this process and make it practicable for other courses here in T-Ride.

Thanks!
