Out of Order Signs

We have new Out of Order signs. They are in the top reference desk drawer on the right side. Please put them on items that are not working.

Indicate your intials, the problem, and the date. When it is reported mark initials and date. When the problem is fixed, send the out of order sign to IT if it is a computer issue. This includes OCE issues.

If it some other facility issue, discard the sign after the problem is resolved.
