LIT Help DeskWhether calling the LIT Help Desk or calling your liaison, here are a few tips to help us serve you. 1. Call your liaison first (see the list of liaisons at library.lakeforest.edu/academics/lit/lit_liais.html). If you plan on calling the Help Desk, tell your liaison this when you leave them a voice mail. 2. Let us know when you will be in your office for our return call. This is especially important for faculty. 3. Give us your office and telephone number. They will be entered on your help ticket. 4. Tell us your Operating System (for example, os 9, os x, windows 2000, windows xp, windows 95). This appears when you first start your machine.

6. Explain the problem in as much detail as possible. Tell us the program that was being used, the task you attempted, frequency of the problem, what brought about the onset of problem, exactly what the error message says, and if this problem has occurred before.
7. Let us know what troubleshooting techniques you have tried on your own, such as rebooting or reconnecting cords. Find out what does and does not work. For example, if email doesn't work, can you still browse Internet sites? Or if Netscape doesn‰t work, does Internet Explorer work?
| Library videos and DVDs | Cannot be shown for campus lectures or performances outside of scheduled class time without securing public performance rights. The Library can provide information about securing those rights. |
| Musical recordings | A single copy may be made for the purpose of class exercises or examinations. |
| Non-musical recordings | May only be copied if the library's copy is lost or damaged and a replacement is not available for purchase. |
| Music Scores | Entire works may only be copied for performances and only in emergencies. Emergency copies must be replaced with purchased originals if available. |
| Image archives | If the image is not available for sale, you may digitize it for a course. Access must be limited to students enrolled in the course and the image should be a low-resolution thumbnail. |
| Incorporating others' works in multimedia (e.g. Powerpoint, posters) | You may create unique works that incorporate a small amount of others' works. These works must not be distributed, and fair use "expires" on them after two years. |
