Update on proposed PSL and Engineering merger, week ending 28th August 2009

This is a combined report for last week and this week.
Dawn was able to offer the book moving positions to the successful candidates and we welcome the following people who will be working with staff from Physical Sciences, Engineering moving journals to storage. They are:
Hugh Joughin
Bruce McNeil
Josiah Simmonds
Jeremy Fridd
Michael Browning

The movement of journal to the Law Basement begins on Monday 24th August. Even on Tuesday 25th when Gail and I popped up to Level 2 in the Engineering Library it was very evident that many volumes had already been moved. Both the Monday meetings focussed mainly on behind the scenes organisation being undertaken to ensure that journal move will take place smoothly. Theresa and all the staff working with her are have work incredibly hard.

I was unable to attend the Project Control Group meeting last week, however I understand that discussion mainly focussed on the number of data and power points that should be installed. This was a continuing theme for the meeting this week as well. The date that the Library will be handed back the refurbished Engineering and Physical Sciences Library will be the 8th February, cleanup and moving of the Physical Sciences Library into the newly merged Library will then begin.
