Tag: Lost and found

A student dropped off a lost USB flash drive at the desk today saying that he’d contacted the owner and told her to stop by the reference desk for it. I told the student that it would be better to leave the flash drive at the security guard’s desk instead. If the owner stops by the desk looking for a red and black SanDisk Cruzer Edge 8 GB drive, it’s with security.

Student picked up the flash drive on Friday.

For a month or more, I noticed there were two flash drives in the reference desk draw.  I checked them to verify who the owners were and I was able to locate the names of each owner.  One of the flash drives I gave to security with a note indicating the name of the student.  The other flash drive I was able to locate an email on the student’s resume.  I notified the student to come to the reference desk to pick up the flash drive.
