Apparently we are a user-unfriendly library because our circ cash register is out of dimes. Or at least that's what the "faculty member" told me before he stomped off threatening to complain about us to "President __________," who, uh, happens to no longer be the president of the university. Oh well. Apparently the guy hasn't noticed that WE HAD A FIRE and half of the library is closed. First, he couldn't find the copy machine. (I came to the desk as he was being given directions. They included math, i.e. "walk at a 45 degree angle," so it's easy to see why he may have been confused.) And then I guess he couldn't make it work. I just don't quite understand the focus on dimes, though. Yes, copies are ten cents a page. But this machine (granted, unlike some of our old archaic microform reader/printers that currently aren't available anyway) takes dollars and other coins, so what's the big whoop? I mean, yes, the library isn't the most user-friendly place in the world. Don't even get me started on the Pharos system. But the copy machine... insert cash or swipe card. Put item to copy on the glass. Press green button. Machine will spit out copy. Press change return button for change. The machines have advanced, but the concept really hasn't changed in the last 20 years or so.
