The University w88 casino games login faculty and staff believe a successful semester begins when faculty and students partner with the w88 casino games login. With several remote and virtual support options available, the Libraries are positioned to support user needs during these dynamic and uncertain times. As a result of the ongoing pandemic, things will look different w88 casino games login semester when visiting the Libraries.
“With the Fall semester underway w88 casino games login users should become familiar with new policies and protocols for operation,” University w88 casino games login Associate Dean Linda Kopecky said. “Due to the pandemic, we’ve had to modify how we do things in order to maintain a healthy and safe environment for users visiting the Mathewson-IGT Knowledge Center, DeLaMare Science and Engineering Library and the Savitt Medical Library.”
To learn more about what is new and different tune in to Checked Out!, the University Libraries official podcast. In w88 casino games login short episode hosts Sasha Soleta and Sean Busey talk about what users can expect when they visit the Libraries.
“With new hours of operation, face coverings required, and no more eating or drinking in the w88 casino games login, we want to be sure the campus community knows what to expect,” Sasha Soleta, co-host of Checked Out! said. “Many things have changed due to COVID-19, but the w88 casino games login is well positioned to support students, faculty, and researchers.”
University w88 casino games login Checked Out! Episode 9.5
Sean and Sasha have a quick conversation about some of the new rules and policies meant to keep students, staff, and faculty safe in the UNR w88 casino games login.
Face Coverings Required
Face coverings are required to enter any of the w88 casino games login locations, and at all times while visiting. It is important that users wear their face covering properly. Face coverings should cover the nose, mouth and chin. Face coverings are required when using group study spaces, even if a user is studying alone.
New Hours of Operation
The w88 casino games login provide access to the crucial resources and services the campus community depend on. Due to the pandemic, users need to be aware of varied hours of operation. For the most current hours of operation information, please visit the hours page on the w88 casino games login website.

No Eating or Drinking in the w88 casino games login
At w88 casino games login time there is no eating or drinking allowed inside the University Libraries. Due to the campus-wide face covering mandate the Libraries ask users to refrain from eating inside our locations. Outdoor seating is available on the Knowledge Center’s patio, as well as inside the second floor Rotunda located off of the Breezeway across from Bytes Café .
Health and Safety Top Priority
The w88 casino games login Building Operations Department has added a new “member” to its staff, Operational Pre-emptive Improvised Eradicator (OPIE).
“OPIE is able to sanitize a floor in about 30-minutes and will be used on most surfaces,” Alden Kamaunu, manager of Building Operations for the w88 casino games login said. “OPIE is able to blanket surfaces in a fine mist thus allowing it to dry quickly while eradicating viruses and other harmful bacteria. In fact, OPIE will be working tirelessly throughout the day to ensure staff and patrons are as protected as possible. Feel free to say hello when visiting.”
Printing, Access Services and Research Services
Printing in the Libraries has changed slightly. Print jobs can now be picked-up from any printer in the Libraries building. At w88 casino games login time no cash transactions are being made. Users are asked to load their Wolf Card with funds to cover printing and other Libraries expenses.
Contactless pick-up at lockers is available when retrieving Knowledge Center materials. Users may also pick things up from the Access Services Desk located on the second floor of the Knowledge Center. At w88 casino games login time Anatomy Models are not available for check-out, however the collection is available online.
The w88 casino games login will not be offering on-site course reserves for the Fall semester because of the need to quarantine books between uses. Electronic reserves remain available 24/7. The w88 casino games login can also scan a “fair use” portion of reserve materials, making them accessibly available through WebCampus. Please contact Deirdre Adams-Buckley directly at dadamsbuckley@unr.edu or contact reserves@unr.edu for assistance.
Finally, the w88 casino games login ask users to keep study tables to two people or fewer, while maintaining social distancing.
Research help is available via the Research Help Desk located on the second floor of the Knowledge Center. Help is also available via Zoom, phone and chat.
Changes in the @One
At w88 casino games login time personal printing is not available. The Dynamic Media Lab and Dataworks Lab are open with a limited number of computers available. All classrooms located on the first floor of the Knowledge Center are sanitized between classes.

Sasha: Hey, w88 casino games login.
w88 casino games login: Hey, Sasha.
Sasha: w88 casino games login is kind of weird, 'cause, like, I don't, have anybody to thank for the intro.
Sean: w88 casino games login is one of those weird episodes. For T.V. fans out there, w88 casino games login is like the bottle episode where it's only the core people, with one thing going on. Minimize the production. That's what w88 casino games login is. We're doing something a little different today that's kinda weird already.
Sasha: Yeah. Especially 'cause we haven't identified ourselves. Um, as always, I'm Sasha. **Laughing**
Sean: **Laughing** I'm Sean. Uh, welcome to Checked Out, the University of Nevada, Reno w88 casino games login and TLT podcast. Today though, we're talking...it's a little different how we're doing it, but we're talking about something very important and probably at the front of everybody's minds as the new semester begins.
Sasha: Basically, we know you guys love us here at the library. You love hanging out with us in-person. And we're here to tell you how we're doing it safely w88 casino games login semester.
w88 casino games login: Exactly.
Sasha: With our special COVID restrictions!
w88 casino games login: Yay!
Sasha: **singing**
w88 casino games login: All the precautions going into reopening.
Sasha: Uh-huh.
w88 casino games login: Fun stuff.
Sasha: I've been back in the building since July. w88 casino games login is still working remote.
w88 casino games login: Yeah.
Sasha: A lot of the students are working remote as well, but for those of w88 casino games login who want to come by...**laughing**
w88 casino games login: Yeah. **laughing** I mean, I would like to come back, believe it or not, so I think we should talk about the things that are gonna help make it safe enough to do so.
Sasha: Yeah, guys. We want w88 casino games login to come back into the building, so we have to make it safe for him.
w88 casino games login: Yeah. Yeah. It's all about me.
Sasha: Mhm. Don't mess w88 casino games login up for Sean, guys.
Sean: Yeah. Think of me when w88 casino games login're wondering, "Should I wear my mask?" Think of me.
Sasha: So I guess the first big thing that happens- that's happening when we're coming back and that we're back now - masks are required.
w88 casino games login: Yes.
Sasha: Everywhere.
w88 casino games login: Yes.
Sasha: All the time, w88 casino games login should be wearing your mask.
Sean: Yes. No matter who w88 casino games login are.
Sasha: Uh-huh.
Sean: It's not about w88 casino games login. w88 casino games login wear your mask to help protect others. Don't be that- don't be that person. Just don't. Wear your mask.
Sasha: Don't kill somebody's grandma because w88 casino games login were uncomfortable.
w88 casino games login: Right? And don't be one of those people with your little fake laminated cards. "I have an exemption." Those don't exist.
Sasha: Also, don't be one of those people who lets your nose be free. Like no, dudes.
w88 casino games login: Yeah. Wear your mask-
Sasha: Your nose has to go under there, too.
w88 casino games login: Yeah. Wear your mask, wear it properly, and wear it all the time.
Sasha: Just- I don't know. Put a little perfume in there and w88 casino games login don't have to smell everybody now. w88 casino games login can just be like, "Mmm. I'm in my own lovely-smelling world in my mask." Uh, also, when we come to the whole mask on all the time, w88 casino games login know what that means, Sean. No stuffing our face with Port of Subs at the library anymore.
w88 casino games login: But where am I gonna smell sandwiches that are surprisingly pungent?
Sasha: Um, w88 casino games login're gonna have to go to the Joe or w88 casino games login're gonna have to eat outside. Actually, though, it looks like...um...the Rotunda area in the Knowledge Center has been designated as an eating area. So w88 casino games login CAN eat just there. But I don't want to be walking around on those upper floors smelling Panda, guys. 'Cause one, I'm trying to diet. I don't need that in my life. And two, w88 casino games login're not supposed to be eating up there.
Sean: w88 casino games login will be told to go elsewhere.
Sasha: Mhm. I will eat your food if w88 casino games login are eating on the floor. I will take it. Yeah.
w88 casino games login: Let's do alternate rules where we get to decide the punishment.
Sasha: Uh-huh.
Sean: In w88 casino games login case, if you break the rule, we get your food and/or drink to do whatever we please with. And, the container it's in. What's that? You don't want to buy a new Tupperware? Better not push it.
Sasha: w88 casino games login know, I love me some fancy snaps.
w88 casino games login: Yeah.
Sasha: Um, so that's the mask stuff covered. We're also very much encouraging - and telling w88 casino games login to social distance. Six feet, everybody.
w88 casino games login: Yeah... All the time.
Sasha: Yes. 'Cause, w88 casino games login see, the thing is, I'm up in the stacks walking around. I don't know if the person that's sitting next to w88 casino games login is your roommate or your significant other. I don't want to have to tell w88 casino games login six times to move.
w88 casino games login: Yeah.
Sasha: And w88 casino games login probably don't want to hear it!
Sean: Yeah. There- we are taking the stance that we can't afford to take a chance, so we're going with safest practice and assuming none of w88 casino games login know each other, w88 casino games login're all strangers, just stay six feet apart. That's it. It's that easy.
Sasha: I mean, I don't like people that much, so it's kinda great so I can always be like, "I'll be over here."
w88 casino games login: I still wanna get the giant Bubble Boy thing and just walk around literally bumping people out of the way. Six feet, guys. Six feet.
Sasha: So, as I said, I'm back, so my department's back, but not all our departments in the building are back, so we still have instructional design, is still gonna be remote, so w88 casino games login know the ways to contact them through our two episodes we had with them.
w88 casino games login: Yeah.
Sasha: And then, Basque. The Basque library and special collections are also by appointment only. So w88 casino games login do have to contact them if w88 casino games login want to access their collections. Just a heads-up there. w88 casino games login're also gonna see some differences in hours because we need time to clean is basically why I'm saying we're closing a little bit earlier. Also, guys, w88 casino games login gotta get some sleep, man.
w88 casino games login: Yeah. Occasionally.
Sasha: Mhm.
w88 casino games login: I mean, tell the freshmen out there that's not what class is for.
Sasha: Yeah **laughing**
Sean: But the people that work at the library, they tend to go home and rest in between, w88 casino games login know, sanitizing. And sanitizing takes time and effort.
Sasha: Yeah. So, our new hours for the Knowledge Center specifically are Monday through Friday, 7 am to 10 pm, so no more midnight- no more burning that midnight oil. Uh, Friday, 7 am to 7 pm, Saturday we're actually going to be closed, which is a new for everybody.
w88 casino games login: Yeah.
Sasha: But go out there, guys. Have fun. You know what? I'm saying w88 casino games login. You guys can take the day off.
w88 casino games login: Yeah!
Sasha: Take a nice study break.
w88 casino games login: Yeah. Schedule your time a little differently. Or study elsewhere. It's not that hard.
Sasha: Yeah. Give yourself some "me" time. Do a facemask, get your nails done, it'll be great. Get some "w88 casino games login" time in on Saturday. Then come in on Sunday at noon and w88 casino games login can study from noon to 10.
w88 casino games login: And look better, from the sounds of it.
Sasha: Yeah. w88 casino games login know. Priorities.
w88 casino games login: Yeah. **Laughing**
Sasha: Um, and just to let w88 casino games login know, all the desks are going to be staffed a little bit less during these hours, but most of the desks like the Access Services Desk and the Research Services desk, they have doorbells, and their phone numbers posted, so if w88 casino games login do need to get in contact whit them and they're not directly at their desk, ring that doorbell. We love it. I'm like a dog back here when I hear the doorbell ring. I'm like **gasping** Who's there? **Laughing** It's pretty exciting for me.
w88 casino games login: *Laughing** and she starts barking. It's pretty- it's a fun sight to behold
Sasha: So then, once w88 casino games login're in the building, w88 casino games login know, w88 casino games login're wearing your mask, w88 casino games login're not eating food, w88 casino games login're drinking with a straw.
Sean: w88 casino games login're six feet away.
Sasha: Six- yeah, w88 casino games login're six feet away.
w88 casino games login: Yeah. Six feet away from everybody.
Sasha: w88 casino games login're only getting into the elevator with three people. If there's more than three people, just be like, "Nah. I'm good."
w88 casino games login: Yeah. Don't care if they're your roommates.
Sasha: We wanna keep w88 casino games login guys safe.
w88 casino games login: Don't care if they're your roommates.
Sasha: Yeah.
w88 casino games login: Three at a time.
Sasha: And maybe, w88 casino games login know what? w88 casino games login need some time apart from your roommates. Give that elevator ride time to think.
w88 casino games login: I've had roommates before that- no. Use the elevator ride. Long-term sanity.
Sasha: Uh-huh. And so w88 casino games login might be thinking, well w88 casino games login guys were talking bout how w88 casino games login're sanitizing things, but how? How are we sanitizing things?
w88 casino games login: Yeah.
Sasha: Well, our building manager has come up with quite the little device. **Laughing**
w88 casino games login: It's like the action movie's answer to sanitization equipment.
Sasha: His name is Opie.
Sean: Yeah. w88 casino games login is like- w88 casino games login is movie number like 14 in the Die Hard series. It's Die Hard: Coronavirus.
Sasha: Uh-huh. So, occasionally, w88 casino games login will see our building miners pushing around a little cart with Opie in it. It makes quite the racket, I think. Sorry guys. **Laughing**
w88 casino games login: **Laughing**
Sasha: He doesn't have a silencer yet. Um, and he just wanders around cleaning all the public areas - places like group study rooms get cleaned a couple times a day, that sort of thing. Speaking of group study rooms, guess where w88 casino games login also have to wear your mask.
w88 casino games login: Group study rooms?Sasha: Group study rooms!
w88 casino games login: Wow!
Sasha: Yeah!
w88 casino games login: That was - I went out on a limb there. I had no idea.
Sasha: And I would like to call them more "Group buddy rooms" because **Laughing** we're actually limiting the amount of the people that can be in each of those rooms. So the larger rooms, w88 casino games login can only have two people in. So w88 casino games login're the best bud. And then the smaller rooms are just for single use, just because it's a tiny space. We don't want w88 casino games login guys swapping them germs.
Sean: Yep. It's that easy. The Knowledge Center has always been for group work, but if w88 casino games login have a big group and w88 casino games login insist on breaking social distancing rules, go elsewhere.
Sasha: Yeah. I hope the teachers are not making you guys do group projects during w88 casino games login time.
w88 casino games login: Uh...
Sasha: Seems, like, weird, right? They are?
w88 casino games login: Yeah.
Sasha: Aww...
w88 casino games login: Yeah. But it's a Zoom thing, or online thing.
Sasha: Yeah.
w88 casino games login: A change in the procedures. So...
Sasha: All right. Let's talk about my favorite desk, Sean. Do w88 casino games login know what my favorite desk is?
w88 casino games login: Uh, the desk of a cold case detective?
Sasha: Yes. But only in comedy crime shows. Right now, my favorite desk is the one I work at, which is the Access Services desk. So who, I mean, I'm really the best person to tell w88 casino games login about what's going on there. Although, not really.
w88 casino games login: Eh...
Sasha: It's probably Molly. Molly knows everything.
w88 casino games login: Yeah. Yeah. Molly!Sasha: Molly!
w88 casino games login: Molly!
Sasha: She probably can hear me, too. Um...**Laughing*
Sean: **Laughing** She's gonna knock on the door and be like, "w88 casino games login called?" **Laughing**
Sasha: "Hey!" So, the research help desk, which we are going to be talking to next episode, w88 casino games login'll hear about how they can help w88 casino games login contactlessly...that's a word I'll go with. And how they can help w88 casino games login through Zoom, phone, but they are also available at their desk. They have a nice plexiglass barrier like all the service points on campus do.
w88 casino games login: Yep.
Sasha: We are also offering as a desk, contactless pickup for page books, like plus books, any kind of books w88 casino games login want, we can put in a locker for w88 casino games login, and w88 casino games login don't even have to, like, see our pretty faces. Although...
w88 casino games login: That easy.
Sasha: Yeah. It is. I don't know why you wouldn't want to see us, but if you don't, you can go downstairs in the @One and have a locker all nice and ready with your books, but we also are still offering pickup at the desk, too. So, w88 casino games login is a...w88 casino games login is a big one, though, guys. We are not accepting cash anymore.
w88 casino games login: I mean, there is that big coin shortage, so...
Sasha: Yeah. We're doing our part!
w88 casino games login: It's very rare. Yeah. It's very rare for anyone, nowadays, to be accepting cash. But especially with the whole disease thing, cash is on the way out.
Sasha: Mhm. Uh, the future is now, guys. So we're also, unfortunately, unable to do anatomy models because of the way we'd have to clean them. Uh, we don't want to hurt the model. We don't want to spend two hours sanitizing every model after every checkout. And we're also not doing hard copy reserves for basically the same reason, unfortunately.
w88 casino games login: Yeah.
Sasha: So...sorry, guys.
w88 casino games login: Yeah. Tell your professor, "Use electronic reserves." Or to be merciful.
Sasha: And then the other thing w88 casino games login might notice me coming into the building, a lot of our computers are without their mouse and keyboard because we actually had to cut down the amount of computers available to w88 casino games login guys just in order to keep the number of people in the building down to a safe, manageable amount.
w88 casino games login: Yeah.
Sasha: So w88 casino games login're seeing a little bit less computer action up on the floor down in the @One. I think those are kinda like all the major ones.
w88 casino games login: Yeah. I think so. Um...
Sasha: Not to like info dump on w88 casino games login guys, but...
Sean: Yeah. No. it's important. These are important points to make. The more people that hear them, the better. I would summarize it as common sense. Don't be selfish. Be considerate of others. And just, w88 casino games login know, think. Uh, state organization, state mandate, wearing your mask, um, w88 casino games login know, don't...don't put other people at risk because w88 casino games login're selfish. Don't do it.
Sasha: Yeah. And like, we understand, like if w88 casino games login're...if w88 casino games login just...I had a girl the other day and her mask broke on her and it was so she was just like "Oh my God, my mask broke." And she was covering her face and being very polite about it.
Sean: Yeah.Sasha: You know, we understand. w88 casino games login is hard. Going through w88 casino games login is difficult. A mask can break sometimes. Just come to one of the desks. We'll be able to help you out.
w88 casino games login: Yeah.Sasha: Things happen.
w88 casino games login: We're not monsters.
Sasha: And we understand that. Yeah. We're not monsters. Well, w88 casino games login is. But I'm not a monster! **Laughing**
Sean: Eh, w88 casino games login're more of a goblin. But w88 casino games login know, we're not unreasonable, which is the point. these are very reasonable safety demands. And w88 casino games login know, of course, we're gonna work with w88 casino games login and try to, w88 casino games login know, be cooperative as much as possible. Don't be the one person that makes the rules get more strict and more harsh because w88 casino games login don't like covering your face for 20 minutes while w88 casino games login pick up a book.
Sasha: Mhm.
w88 casino games login: Just make it as easy as possible, be considerate as possible, and it'll all be over sooner. It's that easy.
Sasha: And just, in general, think about it w88 casino games login way: Would you rather go to one party for 20 minutes without a face mask and then have to live at home with your parents for the next year because we had to shut down, or would you rather keep your face mask on, party your heart out, do whatever you want away from your parents? Just think about it that way. 'Cause if we get shut down, you gotta go back home. And I don't want that for you.
w88 casino games login: Yeah. **Laughing**
Sasha: w88 casino games login's just thinking about when he was like a freshman in college and if he had to go back to his parents' house mid-semester, "Naw dawg."
w88 casino games login: Because of a disease outbreak. Like everything about that hypothetical in my brain is just a, "Nah. Like nope."
Sasha: Like, "Wait, there was a way to stop me from going home but nobody else wanted to do it? Cool..."
w88 casino games login: Yeah. Yup. Uh, be the good- be the good people here.
Sasha: Mhm.
Sean: So, I- I think that's about it - uh, the basic rules, common sense rules. Thank w88 casino games login for the run down, Sasha.
Sasha: No problem. Guys, see it like w88 casino games login. We don't have football w88 casino games login season. College football. So w88 casino games login is our football. w88 casino games login is us coming together as a group. **Laughing**
Sean: Yes. It's that easy. there w88 casino games login go.
Sasha: Yeah.
Sean: All right. Uh, what do w88 casino games login think? Time for some NPR voices?
Sasha: I think it's time for some NPR voices. Uh, I think it's just thanking your lovely host which was me, Sasha, and w88 casino games login Busey of course.
Sean: Yeah. Yeah. Of course. Don't forget about w88 casino games login other lovely host over here. Um-
Sasha: And then our podcast team.
w88 casino games login: Yeah. We have Jazmin Arevalo, Maggie Ressel, Michelle Rebaleati, and Louca Stormer, Jill Stockton, and Joe Gurgui.
Sasha: Episode music, "Better Days" by Louan Wilkstrom, courtesy of Universal Productions Music.
Sean: Uh, until next time, w88 casino games login is Checked Out, checking out. Be good!
Sasha: So we don't have to check out at home! **Laughing**
w88 casino games login: Yes! Yes, we would like to record at least one of these in-person. Goodbye.
