In case you were wondering, HCL Special Borrowers are not eligible to make Scan & Deliver OR ILL requests. The HCL website is a little ambiguous on this point.

Lamont Laptop borrowing opened to non-undergrads

It's official!

As of August 20, the loan code on the Lamont Loaner laptops has been changed.

All borrowers who can borrow at Lamont are eligible now to borrow laptops for in-building use on a 3-hour loan.

We have 4 Macbook pros and a bunch of Dells.

HD Problems

Paul is out, and I've already had two problems with HD requests.  One patron hadn't gotten an e-mail, though he'd requested the item Monday.  I found the item at Paul's desk.  Another patron had received an e-mail saying the item was here, but it wasn't.  I also found that one at Paul's desk.  I'm leaving notes at the desk hoping to forestall any confusion.

UPDATE:  Jonathan Rosenwasser rosenwas@fas.harvard.edu is Paul's backup.  He will be in Lamont in the afternoons .

Seen on the Hedge Outside Lamont

Steve suggested that tree pruners found the nest and put it on the hedge.
