Shout-outs From My Colleagues
Shout-outs are kind words from Libraries staff to other Libraries staff for going out of their way to be extra awesome at their job.
Khaled to the rescue, once again! Yesterday, we discovered that our scavenger hunt ipads were missing essential apps with classes scheduled to use them the next day. Khaled came down within a few minutes, talked to the right IT colleagues and got it resolved all within about 30 minutes, during a very busy first week of classes. This is not the first time (and I'm sure won't be the last) that he has shown up to save the day. Thanks, Khaled!

I want to give a big thank you and shout out to Shawn and Khaled for helping troubleshoot in the Visualization Gallery. This semester, a student is working on an interactive thesis project using USB cameras. The cameras weren't working as expected, so Shawn and Khaled spent nearly 2 hours with us in the Gallery sorting through the layers of issues. I appreciate how friendly, patient, and diligent they were in helping identify and solve the issues. We have so many unique uses and are often pushing the technology to its limits, and it is wonderful to have colleagues who are willing to put in extra time to make the high-tech spaces work well for students and other users.

Khaled responds to requests quickly and helpfully. He follows up. He offers good solutions. All that and he's a pleasure to work with!
