Library Fines Synced to Student Accounts for ASU Patrons (Faculty, Staff, and Students)Posted by Susan L. Jennings on Friday, May 4, 2012 - 4:36pmThrough a successful collaboration with Student Accounts, the Registrar's Office, ITS and the University Library, all library charges will now sync with the ASU Banner system. This change will make the library billing process faster, simpler and more transparent. All library charges will appear at the library and on faculty, staff and student banner accounts beginning Monday, May 7th. This will enable faculty, staff and students to pay library charges at either the University Library or at Student Accounts. You can pay at the library at the Main Circulation Desk using App, Credit or Debit cards, cash or check. At Student Accounts, you can pay face to face or online. NOTE: Be sure to indicate to Student Accounts personnel if you are paying face to face that your payment is for a library fine. Due to the timing of payments synced, please allow a minimum of 24 hours for proper credit to appear. Please note that at any time, you may check your library account by going to MY ACCOUNT at the top of the University Library’s home page (www.library.appstate.edu). Log in using your last name and banner ID number. You can check here any time, 24 hours/day for any fines, fees, hold’s, late books from any web enabled device. Services |

Tips on Surviving the End of the Semester!Posted by Susan L. Jennings on Monday, April 30, 2012 - 11:13amThroughout this week, we will be posting some tips to help make the end of the semester a little less stressful. Hope it helps! Tip #1 Don’t be a victim of lost files at the end of the semester! It is heartbreaking when a student has something unexpected happen here in the library resulting in the loss of a critical paper or other research assignment. Sometimes all we can say is that we are sorry because the paper is a “lost cause.” But there are tech solutions out there that can help minimize this risk. Here are some solutions: Don’t open your document from ASULearn or email and begin to work on it. Be sure to save it to either: 1) Online free cloud computer spaces like Google Docs or Dropbox. These are free accounts and even the free versions give you lots of storage space. Dropbox also has an application that you can download to your own computer so that saving a document is as simple as saving it in the “Dropbox” folder. This will sync that document to any device used (whether at school, home, work, etc.). 2) Portable device such as a USB flash drive or burning to CD/DVD. We have both on sale at the Circulation desk if you need to purchase one. 3) Email the document to yourself. 4) Remember where you save it and DON’T save it to the Desktop unless it’s REALLY temporary: If you use a library computer, be sure to note where you save the document. The best place is “My Documents” and should be the default. We hope that these tips will help minimize your risk of losing your important work! Good luck!
