No Comments on Pilot Online Timecard Training Beginning

Online timecards are one step closer to reality! The UL volunteered to be involved in the pilot testing of the online timecard system for campus, EmpCenter.

In Phase One, a small group of 12 UL employees will be testing the online environment while still completing normal timecards. Those employees have been notified and start training and testing this week.

In Phase Two, all UL employees will be testing the timecard system- keep your eyes open for Phase Two training events in the next few weeks.

Phase Three is the campus roll-out which they are hoping will be in the fall.

The first campus open forum for policy related e-timecard discussion is on Friday, August 2, 2013 in SU312 from 10-11am. More forums are in the works.

No Comments on Ground Floor Construction Work Starts Tuesday

On Tuesday July 30, there will be SERIOUS noise downstairs due to cutting concrete – necessary to put in the electrical conduits. There also will be substantial noise and dust flying everywhere. The contractor will be putting up plastic and large drop cloths.

Tutoring Services may want to use another part of the library during this construction.

No Comments on Important Notice Regarding Ground Floor Entrances and Exits in Bierce

For reasons of security and accountability the security on the doors on the ground floor of Bierce has changed, effective today, April 23, 2013.

There is no longer an ADA Accessible door into the ground floor. Alarms have been activated on the double inside doors to the right of the elevator. Exit through these doors is for emergencies only. The outside door is locked.

The double doors to the left of the elevator, the ones that lead to the loading dock and LIB 75 (Audio-Visual Classroom Services) are to be closed at all times. Other than for entry to LIB 75, this entrance and exit will be for Bierce Library staff only. Students are not to use this either as an exit or entrance—except, of course, in case of an emergency.
