heavy duty stapler -- again
I know I didn't offer a very good explanation last year, but I hope that post was based on a discussion we had in person.
Regardless, the deal is that we (we being Michael and Jenna) are not inclined to provide another heavy-duty stapler for public use. The one we bought last year, that we couldn't keep in working order for more than five minutes at a time, cost $200. The expense wouldn't be such a big deal if the thing weren't a lemon, but unfortunately, it was, as all of its kind seem to be.
In lieu of giant staples, we are willing to provide giant paper clips, binder clips, and butterfly clips.
There's also a related discussion in the suggestion book (or the "book of no" as I'm calling it in my head) if you're interested.

Think chair
Our new reference desk chair has arrived. You'll notice that just about every part of it moves and adjusts. I've left the card that shows you how to make the adjustments on the chair itself, but in case it doesn't last there, you can check out the printable, interactive, and flash user guides.

reference computer keyboard
The wireless keyboard needs new batteries, which Anna ordered today. I put it in the locked reference desk cabinet for now.

out of order signs
Per a staff discussion on the best way to share information about reference equipment (and bathroom) problems, I have created an OUT OF ORDER sign that should be filled out by the reference staff who notices the issue and then by any subsequent people who deal with it.
Several copies of the sign have been stored in the reference desk drawer, in the hanging folder marked SIGNS in the file folder marked OUT OF ORDER.
The master is located in the library staff drive at H:\SIGNS\outoforder.xls

wireless mouse & keyboard
The replacement keyboard and mouse Michael ordered have arrived and are standing by in the reference desk cabinet for some nice help desker to install.
UPDATE: It has been installed. The mouse will take a few hours to charge. If it's not working over the weekend, please alert the help desk.

Big Stapler
This hateful thing has been locked in the reference desk. We put a basket of binder clips in its place. Please comment if you disagree, have a suggestion for another approach, etc.
