Recently a returning interloan item has been “lost” at some point of time when it was returned on to campus. See Janice’s post on Counterculture.
I have had a discussion with Neill Robb of the University Warehouse regarding the use of couriers on campus.
ALL couriered items are intended to go through the University Warehouse in Kirkwood Avenue. They are signed in here, and then distributed around the campus. Most of the couriers used know this, but a few may need reminding.
If Library staff are approached by a courier (most likely on Level 1 of the Central Library), please direct them to the University Warehouse in Kirkwood Ave. Also note which company it is, and please advise me.
Another avenue for the arrival of parcels or packages is through the Mailroom. This is mostly enevlopes etc, but it is the Mailroom that deals with registered mail or packages.
If there are any questions about deliveries of mail, parcels etc, do ask me, and I will make sure that the preferred process is communicated out to all Library staff.
Thanks
Philip
