Active Shooter Training Video

Daniel Piasecki

The likelihood of a school shooting is very low but it’s still important to be mentally prepared. For that reason, the College has purchased a license for Shots Fired on Campus, an excellent video that explains in clear terms how to best respond to an active shooter event. The 20-minute video is available to all faculty, staff and students and it is strongly recommended that you watch it. The video may be view through this link (https://use.vg/KP8Bw1). Due to licensing requirements, you must log in with your MyBucks Portal credentials to watch the video.

The Library is an awesome place! 

The Basics

  • Arrive promptly for your scheduled time.  Please address any scheduling changes as soon as possible.
  • Be attentive, courteous, and responsive while working at the service desk.
  • Refrain from eating your meals, reading the newspaper, talking on your cell phone, or any other activity that would seem inappropriate for a service desk orientation.
  • Academic, office, and work-related activities are permitted at the service desk (reading a book/journal, writing, computer use, processing materials).
  • DO NOT leave the service desk unattended when your shift is over. Inform staff that you are done and leaving for the day.

Student ID Cards and Checkouts

Students must have a valid and current Student ID card to check out a laptop.

Student ID Cards with photos on them can be used to check out laptops.  In this case, it is not necessary to have an additional photo ID like a driver's license to check out laptops.

Student ID Cards without photos require an additional official photo ID (driver's license, passport, state ID) to check out a laptop. A smartphone image of a driver's license or state ID is acceptable as a photo ID, along with the Student ID Card.

Remote Photo ID instructions - UBC and LBC

We are encouraging students to take their own pictures and email them to us. If IDs are needed quickly, we can take a picture for them and print it out at that time. Please call one of the techs to help. As of right now, Technicians and Library Assistants are the only ones who may take pictures of students. Student workers will not take pictures.

ALSO NOTE:

If a student needs an ID for the gym, we ARE taking pictures and printing on the spot!

Student Printing Information

PaperCut is the print management software that is used to track account printing usage and billing. You may have noticed a green window in the upper right corner of a campus computer after logging in. This is the PaperCut system reporting your active balance.

Students will be granted a $50.00 balance or 1000 sheets of paper (single-sided) starting on July 1st and ending the following year on June 30th.

  • Single-sided black and white pages will deduct $0.05 from your balance.
  • Duplex (double-sided) black and white pages will deduct $0.08.  Duplex printing is encouraged and will result in a lower total charge for printing.
  • Single-sided color pages will deduct $0.08 from your balance.
