If you are calling Marmot for an Emergency:

BEFORE YOU CALL:

  • If you are having problems with a Marmot maintained computer, the first step is to reboot or restart your computer. We have found that this fixes a majority of problems.

  • Can this problem wait until the Marmot office reopens?  If so, please send us an email or open a ticket.

  • Are all the cables securely connected to the computer or monitor?

  • If you have a scanner or receipt printer, are they attached to the computer?

  • Trouble with your password; make sure the CAPS LOCK key is off.  

WHAT INFORMATION DO WE NEED:

  • Your name

  • Your library

  • The computer name (i.e. TLW-6789) and whether it is a Staff or Public computer

  • A phone number to reach you

  • A detailed description of the problem

WHAT IS CONSIDERED AN EMERGENCY:

  • When your primary terminals go down and those terminals are vital to the operation of your library.

  • When your terminals or communications indicate LINK DOWN.

  • If your library is experiencing a wide-scale outage.

  • If your library is cut off from e-mail or other network services.

  • If PCRes is not working on any of your patron computers.
