Comments Off on Chicago Tribune

FYI but the Tribune stopped delivering a paper copy of their paper to the library in about Mid-Februrary.

Virginia was looking into the matter. I’ve now been informed that they are once again going to start delivering a paper copy to the library.

Regardless, we now have a gap in coverage. As soon as we get the delivery problem straightened out I’m sure that Virginia will update the holdings to reflect what we actually have.

Anyhow, thought you’d like to know in case you get a patron who asks.

Comments Off on RM 119 Computer Podium

Just an update: The vendor sent the incorrect cables to hook up the computer and monitor to the new overhead projector.

I am currently arranging for the vendor to visit with me in person.

In the meantime we’ll have to continue to make due with the computer cart. Most of our instruction is done now so it should not be too much of a problem. However, if you are not satisfied we can also rig a laptop to the podium and ceiling projector. If you choose that option please let me know and I’ll make sure it’s set up for you.

Thanks and I apologize for the delay.

Comments Off on Reference area Printer Message: ‘Install MK’

By sneal, March 3, 2008 1:45 pm

As an FYI, the ‘Install MK’ error message that is showing up on the IL_120_K A printer currently, means:

“Replace Maintenance Kit.  Replacement of the maintenance kit is necessary at every 300,000 pages of printing and requires professional servicing.  Contact your service technician.” -From the Kyocera Operation Guide.

I will let Scott know about this; it does not affect the printing.

Reference Desk staff:

To avoid being timed-out while using BU mail at the Reference Desk, select the “this is a private computer” option at the web mail log-in screen.  This helps to not time you out while helping patrons.
