How to decipher overdue/fine notices Smith, BobType: Seventh Grade Page 1 Overdue and Fine Notice 09/30/2006 Patron #: Material #TitleAuthor Call # Price Date out Date due __________________________________________________________________ 2837 School days Terk, Marv Ter /03/ /04/2006 Your outstanding fines balance: 0.05 This means: 1.The book School Days is overdue. The price listed is what must be paid if the book is lost. The amount of the overdue fine on School Days is not shown, but Bob knows the fine for an overnight book is 20 cents for each day it is overdue. He should return the book as soon as possible even if he cannot pay the fine immediately. 2.Bob owes 5 cents on another book that he returned late. He has not paid the fine yet, so his fines balance is “outstanding”. If he wants to know the title of the book with the outstanding fine, he may ask the librarian for that information.

Expectations  Computer use must be curriculum related and is governed by the Acceptable Use Policy.  Thank you for entering quietly by the proper door and respecting the rights of others who are in the library. When two classes are using the library simultaneously, everyone appreciates your extra efforts to be quiet and courteous.

Computer Printer The library has a black and white laser printer. Please ask permission to print.  Be environmentally friendly. Use cut-and-paste to reduce ink and paper use.  Notice which printer is designated to do your printing and learn how to change to another printer when necessary.

When in doubt... Ask! Be aware of copyright and avoid plagiarism in your use of print and nonprint materials. Academic dishonesty is a serious issue.
