Reference Questions, 1/23/10

The first Saturday of the semester and here I am on the reference desk. Oh what fun. ;) At least I'm sitting on the low desk. Jason wanted to stay on the high desk. Fine with me. It should be a slow shift anyway.

1. A student needed to reset her Novell username and password. I sent her to the SuperLab.
2. (Phone) A question about the library's hours.
3. (Phone) A librarian from GPL called and wanted to know if a GTCC student could come and use our computers to work on a math lab for a class. That is what the guest computers are for. :)
Moved up to the high desk so Jason could go grab some lunch.

4. (Phone) Gerald called to check on something Jason had called him about.
5. A patron needed a username and password for a guest computer.
6. A student wanted to know if this was the reference section and if she was allowed to go in and look for a book. These people always make me smile. They respect the books.
7. (Chat) A student wanted to know if they should use the same topic for two different assignments.
8. A WSSU nursing student was looking for books on nursing theory.
9. A nursing student was looking for research articles on art therapy and children.
   

This may have been the slowest shift i have ever had during a semester. I am not complaining.
