Stanford University's Office of the Treasurer has decreased the petty cash transaction limit to $100 (previously $150). All reimbursements over the $100 limit must now be processed through iOU.
Please keep in mind that the preferred purchase methods are Oracle/iOU and Pcard. While the amount has changed, other items remain the same. Shalien Izzi, in the Director’s Office, will continue to distribute petty cash on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9:30 - 10:30 a.m.

As the new year takes off, I want to share how Stanford FCU can help with resolutions that revolve around finances. 
Many of us are taking closer looks at our current checking accounts to see how we can save money. In the beginning of January, we launched a campaign “Get rid of the Piggy Bank.” - you may have seen the ads throughout Palo Alto. Some of the benefits of banking with us are:
"The future of books, research libraries, and scholarly publishing: an insider's view" by University Librarian Mike Keller is the ouverture to Bulletin des bibliothèques de France, "L'avenir des bibliothèques : vues d'ailleurs" [t. 56, no. 6, 2011. p. 26.], published in December.
The Community Police Academy (CPA) starts today, January 11, 2012 at 5:30pm. The CPA is a 9-week class that exposes participants to the day-to-day activities of the Stanford Department of Public Safety through classroom and hands-on activities. Some of the classes include: department philosophy, evidence collection, search and seizure laws, use of force, DUI, and patrol procedures. Past field trips (optional) have included tours of the jail, the morgue, and the ability to experience "high speed" driving in a closed and safe environment.
As we say goodbye to Pat Hall, we welcome Emma Tisovec who joined the staff of the Serials Access & Maintenance Unit on January 10 as our half-time Specialist to fill Pat’s position.
