0Today at the library I reviewed the different databases, and worked with Primo. At CAT I worked on my Excel training, and my WordPress training by watching the videos. I plan on finishing my Excel training next week.

0I worked on my iMovie Bio when i was at CAT this morning. After i was done with a majority of it i had to remake the movie because i did not save it correctly in BUFiles, but live and learn and better me then someone I was helping. I am now done with the video but i have to publish it in Quick Time and save it in the drop off box in the Student folder. I could save it because i didn’t have access. Now that i do have access to all the files, finishing the iMovie Bio will be the first think i do my next shift. Then i probably work on the finishing the rest of the training. In the library i completed the LCEasy training and “signed” my name on the anointment board.
Attendance Update
0I hope your first two week back at school and at Information Commons have been going well! We’ve had some questions about the attendance policy and some minor changes, so I wanted to just go over a three quick things. When you are unable to make a shift, there are two scenarios you need to follow when it comes to sending emails. I’ve outlined them separately below, and I will be updating them in our Handbook, but let me know if you have questions.
- Advance Notice
If you know in advance that you cannot make a shift, please send an email to me that includes the information below. I will then add your shift to the bids tab on the Google Doc. We ask that everyone check this document often and if you would like to take someone’s shift, email to let me know. As your bidded shift approaches, please check the Google doc to make sure it is covered. If no one has taken it for you, please send out an email to all the IC students, asking if anyone is able to take it. If no one is able to take your shift, documentation may be needed for the absence.
Who to email:
egillila@butler.edu (to put up shift)
All IC students (to remind if no one has taken your shift)
- Last Minute
If you have a last-minute reason why you cannot make a shift, please send an email to all the IC students, Tim Hommey, and Tim Thomas. You need to email everyone, since there is not time to put last minute shift bids on the Google Doc and so you can find a replacement. Include the same information in the email, unless for some reason you don’t want to fully disclose why you are missing your shift to everyone. In that case, send two separate emails to let the full time staff only know the reason.Who to email:
All IC students, thommey@butler.edu, tthomas1@butler.eduReminder:
You must be proactive about finding a replacement for Library shifts, therefore sending out one email may not be enough if no one responds. For CAT shifts, sending out the one email to everyone is enough.
- Information to Include in Email
Date, time, & location of shift
Reason for absence
The biggest change for returning students is that we should no longer be sending Chasadee attendance emails. We are trying to keep the number of emails she is receiving from us down, so in general, ask an Associate, Tim Hommey, or Tim Thomas. Please keep this email for future reference and feel free to ask any questions if I wasn’t clear. :0)
Thank you!

0Today, I spent a while completing the LC Easy Tutorial. Then I learned more about Primo and several other of the databases. I looked through some Libguides, helped some alumni sign on to the computers, and started writing my article for the newsletter.

Megan Library 1/23
0Today was my second shift in the library! I got more in detail instructions about the duties of the desk from Ginny. I completed the LC Easy program and learned about reshelving books in the reference area. I also got my first phone call, and recorded it in LibStats.

0Today I worked on finishing my Moodle quiz, and then switched over to the instructor side of things. I went through the instructor checklist, and believe everything is completed. I also put a copy of my iMovie video in the Shared folder, which I now have access to! 🙂 \\bufiles\group\IT\InstructionalTechnology\Student Workers\Student Folders\_Shared\Video Files\iMovie Bios . My movie file should be in there with my name as the title, but let me know if there are any issues with finding the video. Near the end of my shift in CAT, I started reading up on the Excel training. I completed the basics quiz and am ready to start watching the training videos on Friday!
