CheckoutYour name is listed in alphabetical order under the STAFF button on the dedicated check out computer

Check inThe first computer you come to in the library is the dedicated check in computer

I encourage you to send small groups of students to the library to check books in and out particularly when I do not have classes. You may send them when I do have classes as long as they know how to check in and out by themselves and understand that they must be courteous at all times, down the hall and in the library.

Library/Classroom Relationship

Auto emails the morning of your library check-out day to let you know who has overdue books

I do not allow students to run back to the room to get books they forgot

No more make up missed classes

Focus on research project based small group collaborations
