Kia ora,

Following the interviews over the last couple of weeks Coral has confirmed that the following staff have been appointed to the new roles;

Central Library – Fiona Tyson starting on the 30th July 2012

Education Library – Lisa Matthews starting on the 30th July 2012

EPS Library – Jenny Owens starting on the 3rd September 2012
The late start for Jenny allows the current vacant post at MB to be filled and training to take place. It also allows Coral time to look at the EPS staffing as a result of this appointment.

Law Library – Caroline Anderson starting on the 30th July
This post will be the temporary position and Caroline has been appointed in the first instance to the 1st March 2013.

The original business case for these four positions was written for three continuing positions and one fixed term position. At the time of advertising it was expected that the EPS Library was going to have space removed to house the Faculty offices. This idea has been discarded and Faculty offices are to be housed elsewhere ensuring that the EPS Library space will continue to function as a library and learning space for the foreseeable future. However one of the positions needed to be offered as a fixed term position, and Caroline has kindly accepted the fixed term contract.

I am sure you will all join Coral and I in congratulating all of the Customer Services Co-ordinators and that you will support them as they move into their new roles.
