We have now opened the 2011 budgets and the Resource Acquisitions team are busily working through these. We would like to make sure we get onto any outstanding semester 1 orders as quickly as possible to ensure timely supply. So if you are holding onto any orders please send them to acquisitions@libr.canterbury.ac.nz as soon as possible, marking any as urgent if necessary. (FYI acquisitions@libr is just another alias for the collections@libr email account but we will be promoting acquisitions@libr for orders and acquisitions).

I am also starting to work through outstanding datasets requests and you will see these coming through, most recently a subscription for GeoScience World (see Deirdre’s posting yesterday). Some of these requests will need to go to the Datasets group (when that is established) for further discussion and once we have a feel for the budget.

More information to come when we get more of an handle on things.

Thanks, Tim Stedman
