Mrs. Ehrhard, your library media assistant, is in charge of book circulation and processing work at the Help Desk. She can help you check in/out, renew, or locate a book using the catalog, collect fines, order materials from the Smiley campus or through Inter-Library Loan (ILL).
Visiting the Library When you are visiting the library on a pass out of class or advisory, you need to (1) present your electronic email pass to Mrs. Ehrhard (2) scan in on the computer at the Help Desk (3) scan out if you are returning back to class and (4) stay on task while in the IMC Checking Out Books To check out a book, you will bring the book and your I.D. to the front desk. Mrs. Ehrhard or Mrs. Riddle will check the book out for you and tell you its due date. Books can be checked out for 2 weeks. These can be renewed for an additional 2 weeks. The maximum number of items that can be checked out at one time is 5. Equipment can be checked out for 3 days and can be renewed with IMC staff approval. Exception--Kindle Fire tablets can be checked out for 2 weeks, just like a book. Renewing Materials All items need to be present at the time of renewal. Lost and Damaged Materials OTHS IMCs do not assess late fees; however, if you do not return your materials, you will be responsible for the replacement cost.
Due Date All items checked out from the IMC will come with a date-due card. Additionally, you can check your personal library account by logging into Destiny. Destiny allows 24 hour access to your IMC account. Reserves You may place items on reserve from either the Milburn campus or the Smiley campus using Destiny or by asking a staff member. Can’t find what you’re looking for? If we do not carry an item that you are looking for, simply ask Mrs. Ehrhard at the Help Desk to order it for you. We can get items for you in two ways: 1. Inter-Library Loan (ILL) Using our free ILL system, we can order materials from local public and academic libraries. Please be aware that this process can take up to a week. 2. Inter-Campus Loan We can request an item from the Smiley campus for you. If requested in the morning, the item typically arrives the same day or the next afternoon. School Supplies We have some school supplies behind the desk (scissors, glue, colored pencils/markers, hole punch, stapler, etc.) for student use. If you need to borrow something, just ask. We also have a variety of school supplies for sale (Tic-Tacs, notecards, poster board). The complete list is posted on the IMC Tour webpage. |
