At the Library proposed relocation meeting on Monday the main points of discussion were the book stock and communications with the students. Dawn is working on communications that will appear in the Chemistry, Mathematics and Physics newsletters as well as contacting ENSOC. Heather and Gail are working with the UCSA representatives on the Library Committee.

Weeding is underway in the “T” classification. 88 bays of older runs of some chemistry journal titles have been identified as low use items and are candidates for storage.

This weeks Project Control Group meeting focussed on two areas this week. One was the amount of stock and therefore the amount of stacks required and the other issue was the area known as “The Cave”.

The Architect produced a first cut at lowering the height of the stacks, in some areas this is required to comply with the sprinkler system within the Engineering Library. A further meeting with the Architect, Dawn MacMillan, Theresa Graham and Heather Jenks was held on Friday afternoon to decide on the placement of stacks and study areas on Levels 2 and 3. Dawn was able to feed through input from Engineering and PSL staff on this issue.

Two representatives from ICTS were invited to the Project COntrol Group meeting to discuss ideas about the relocation of the teaching space and the computers in the cave. The Architect and FM staff will hold a further meeting with ICTS to resolve this issue.
