This is definitely one to pass on to other administrators in higher ed. :) Great job, David!

Yes, a sense of humor helps. Two summers ago we did a big shift and the staff 'discovered' that there was a ghost in the library, moving books around when no one was watching. At first I thought this was a great way to generate publicity (no bad press, right?). But then the evening crew stopped going up to the stacks without an escort, and the fun wore off for me. So we developed a Ghost-Away spray bottle that gets rid of the critters. Just a few puffs of the liquid, and the phantasmal denziens of the whereafter are history (and I don't mean in the D's). We're thinking of putting it on the market. I hear it works for problem patrons too. Thanks! Yes, a sense of humor helps.

The tone of this post is brilliant; thanks for brightening my day!
