IMPORTANT NOTIFICATION ABOUT EMPLOYEE PAY ADVICES
As the university continues to increase sustainability by reducing the use of
paper, Payroll & Benefit Services is discontinuing the printing and mailing of
pay advices for all active employees effective January 1, 2010. Your payroll
advice is accessible via your campus portal: for UCD, UCCS and System
employees at https://my.cu.edu on the "My.Pay" page and UCB
employees at https://cuconnect.colorado.edu/uPortal/index.jsp
under the "MyCU Links" titled "PayAdvice/Check". Copies of current and
past payroll statements can be displayed by selecting the appropriate pay
period, and clicking on either the "View full Advice" or "View full Advice in
HTML format" links that are located below the pay summary.


Questions concerning access to payroll advices should be directed to
payrollbenefit.services@cu.edu or (303) 735-6500, extension 2.


PBS will continue to print statements for retirees who receive Alternate
Medicare payments. Likewise, terminating employees will receive their final
pay advices in the mail.


We appreciate your support in our continuing efforts to create efficiencies,
and enhance the university's green and sustainable practices.

AurThings Continuing through March

What is the program about?

The program is based on 23 Things Learning 2.0 program created by Helene Blowers, Technology Director, Public Library of Charlotte & Mecklenburg County. It is set up to encourage exploration of the Internet and web technologies in the hope that not only will employees have fun, but also find new tools to enable them to better support their goals and inspire creativity.

How does it work?

The program is a self-led learning program that has been formatted into a ten week course. During this time participants will explore at their own pace and can choose how in depth they go into each activity. Each week participants will be introduced to new Web tools and asked to track participation in a personal blog which they will set up and begin maintaining in week 1. Each person who wishes to receive credit for participating must have and register his/her own blog. There will be no classes or workshops offered to support this program. Instead, participants are encouraged to work together and share their insights, discoveries and solutions through their blogs or in person.

Why should you participate?

This is a great chance to spend time on your personal and professional development. All library staff need to be up-to-date with the latest trends and technology tools that Web 2.0 is bringing us everyday. We need to take time to learn how the tools can be utilized in or with our libraries. And we will know what our library users, especially younger users, are talking about!Additionally, there is a completion incentive being offered to all permanent employees of the Auraria Library (Faculty, Classified Staff and Exempt Professionals) if you complete the program by March 31, 2010.

Reminder H1N1 Reporting Requirement

All campus departments have to send a daily report to HR totalling the number of faculty/staff who have called in sick that day (this does not include students who are being counted by other means). Since I will be the person doing this (with Marical as backup) I will need everyone to call both their supervisor and me (303/556-6021) by 10:00 a.m. of each morning that they are absent.
HR has established 4 categories that they wish people to report and they are as follows:
1)Faculty/Staff Members who called in reporting absence due to their own flu-like symptoms
2)Faculty/Staff Members who called in reporting a family/household member with flu-like symptoms 3)Faculty/Staff Members who called in reporting absence due to their own other/unknown illness 4)Faculty/Staff Members who called in reporting absence due to family/household member with other/unknown illness.
When you leave your message, please give me enough information so I know which category to count you under.
No specifics will be going to HR - they just want to know the numbers in each category for each day.
For those working on the weekends, please leave me a message no later than 10:00 a.m by the following Monday.
If you work later in the day and don't realise until after 10:00 a.m that you won't be in, please call when you do know you won't be in. Also, if you leave early due to illness, please let me know when you leave.(This also applies if you are using vacation or leave without pay in lieu of sick leave.)
You will need to report leave on your monthly timesheets as this is a separate process from the normal monthly time reporting.
If you have any questions regarding this, please feel free to contact either Marical or me. Thanks! - Mike

Grants Brown Bag Interest Group
We will be having our 2nd Grants Brown Bag Interest Group discussion on Monday, November 23 from noon – 1:00pm in the ELC-friends conference room. Our first Grants Brown Bag discussion was in July: http://intranet.auraria.edu/wiki/index.php/Grants

Everyone is welcome. We will be discussing the current status of grant ideas and proposals in the library & the proposal writing workshop some of you are attending on November 18 through the Office of Research Development & Education.

Tech Gadgets Starting in November, the Library will host regular brown-bag sessions to discuss tech gadgets such as iPhones, Kindle and anything else of interest. If you have items you want to learn more about or are willing to share your gadget, please contact Marical. Our first session will be held in ELC B from 12 -1:oo p.m. on Tuesday, November 17, 2009. This session will include the iPhone, iPod touch and wifi for laptops. Please, feel free to bring your lunch.

WCL Change A joint Prospector and ILL team (Ev, Judith, Cindy M, Meghan, and Kathy) has been investigating the interaction of these programs with WCL and examined the use pattern of our patrons. Therefore as of this afternoon, Friday 11/6/9, we have made a change in WCL that you should see immediately. We will be monitoring the effects of this change for the rest of the semester.

The change was made for two reasons.
· First the trend has been that a large percentage of items are being requested via ILL that could have been requested through Prospector. This causes frustration and unexpected work behind the scenes for the Library staff who know that Prospector is the best request and delivery tool for in-state items from both the patron viewpoint and Library costs.
· The second reason is that the current lack of OCLC record numbers in Prospector records causes a high percentage of false hits when patrons used the “Request from Prospector” button. This also results in frustration and confusion among patrons and the library staff who help them.

The change is that the “Request from Prospector” button which appears on a record when the resource is not available at Auraria Library and is held by another Prospector Library has been changed. The button now says “Search Prospector for Item” and opens a new window for the patron to make a Prospector title search.

This means the patron will need to re-search for the item in Prospector - ideally by copying the item title from the open WCL window and inserting it in the Prospector title search screen. (Or if they are looking at an article record by copying the journal title from the open WCL window and inserting it in the Prospector title or journal title search screen.) Then if the item is not available in Prospector the patron should be encouraged to click on the newly available “Find More Resources” button in the Prospector record. That button will allow them to place an ILL request among other things.

While not a perfect solution we hope this will lower frustration levels. Please make note of this change when you help our patrons learn to navigate WCL.

Thanks,
Gayle, Ev, Judith, Cindy, Meghan, and Kathy

Letter of Commendation
To Whom It May Concern: Patricia Tawnell is proving to be a capable information provider with a real affinity for the work. Pat has been bitten by the same bug that bites all the best reference folk. Once bitten, these people cannot rest until they find the right answer ...whether it means turning over stones or pursuing a question even after the student who asked it has rushed off to class. Pat understands the importance of the Teachable Moment and uses it to good advantage to give students skills they can use to become independent researchers. Pat's explanations are concise, illuminating, and hold the students' interest. Pat is extremely sensitive to students who may be intimidated by libraries or research assignments. Above all, Pat has the discrimination to understand the difference between easy answers and best practices. I would urge you to invest whatever resources you can in Pat's continued training. I feel quite certain your investment will be richly repaid.
Sincerely,
Tobey Stein

http://intranet.auraria.edu/wiki/index.php/Brand_Files_and_ColorsThe library logos are now available on the intranet wiki! There are three styles: the “infinity A,” which is the A by itself; “vertical,” which is the the A with “Auraria Library” underneath it; and “horizontal,” which is the A as the first letter in the phrase “Auraria Library.” These are available in multiple sizes for all library employees to use, and they are suitable for everyday print and online use.
