Here’s the weekly email. Enjoy!
From Seth:
I have updated the certifications (the little program icons that show up under your name on the schedule) for everyone who has a competency project turned in. If you are missing a program, shoot me...an e-mail. If you are a new employee, you must have the library tutorial competency in to me by Feb 25. If you are not a new employee, you should send me 1 recommendation for Tip of the Week (something really cool and helpful you wish everyone in the world knew), and 1 reason why Phil is the coolest person you know (other than his voice...that is a given) by Feb 25. Have fun, y'all!
From Phil:
JKB Closing at 8pm: Starting today the JKB 1005 lab will remain open until 8pm. This means that it will remain unstaffed between 6-8 M-Th, and 5-8pm on Fridays. The East Zone supervisor will close the lab as a part of their walk. If you have a shift when you normally close the JKB lab, please remember to leave it open when you leave.
President’s Day: The schedule has been updated to reflect changed hours for President’s Day (2/21) as well as Tuesday (2/22) that will match the Monday instruction schedule. Please look ahead at these two days and make sure you know when you are scheduled to work.
From the OCs:
Lab Console:
Starting today, you will need to start changing a setting lab console when you open a lab, and will need to check this at the start of each of your shifts. We are getting a handful of help requests that are not being taken care of. Changing this will help with that problem. Under Options then Preferences, change the “Help Requests popup” to Always.

Please remember to do this daily, especially those of you who open labs regularly. We recommend just checking it at the start of each of your shifts. Having it be a regular habit will ensure that it happens.
Thanks! Hope everyone has a great week. Let us know if you have any questions or problems.
