This is a reminder that the Ask a Librarian Academic Desk reopens today, so staff will be covering either the Collaborative or Academic Desk depending on their library’s scheduled statewide shifts. (Academic Desk hours are Monday-Friday, 10a-4p ET). Have a great week!  

]]> Collaborative Desk opens today! (Academic is still closed) https://info.askalibrarian.org/collaborative-desk-opens-today-academic-is-still-closed/ Tue, 03 Jan 2012 14:40:12 +0000 http://askalibrarian.org/blog/?p=3654 This is a friendly reminder that the Ask a Librarian Collaborative Desk will reopen this morning at 10 am ET.

The Academic Desk will remain closed this week to accommodate library closings and availability. During this time, all staff normally scheduled to cover Academic should continue to check the Collaborative Desk box (rather than Academic) when logging in for their scheduled shifts as they did during December. Regular Academic Desk hours begin next Monday, January 9, 2012. (Local hours are not affected by statewide closings.)

* Upcoming closing: the Ask a Librarian statewide desks (Academic and Collaborative) will be closed on Monday, January 16th.

Happy New Year from all of us at TBLC!
