What happened to the electric stapler?

by LAUREN JANOWITZ | February 7, 2006

In an "Ask the Gazette" last week, we tracked the location of the Beardsley electric stapler to the ResTech help desk; however, it is on the move again. Late last week a Cornell Librarian, frustrated by the number of missing and broken staplers there, requested the use of the electric stapler. It was successfully transported over the weekend, and is now available for use -- locked down, of course -- in Cornell.

ITS is still looking for a table strong enough to hold the hefty 250 lb printer in Parrish.
