The Law Basement pack up project will now start on Monday 29 April.

Friday 26 April will be the last morning for retrievals. The items will be packed however they will not leave the campus until all details regarding insurance and the value of the collection have been agreed on by the insurers. We hope this will not take more than week. The items currently in the Law Basement Store B will not be available until they have been scanned in by Online. If library users require an item and we cannot deliver it within an acceptable timeframe for the borrower then You will need to arrange an interloan for the item.

Time frame The pack up is estimated to take 10 days.
Hawkins are aiming for 4-6 months before the basement can be reshelved which really means the remainder of the academic year.

Contract Allied Pickfords have the contract to pack and they are working with Online who will be storing the items

Database to retrieve As Online is a new operator for UC, Library E-services will be setting up access to the Online database etc so that retrievals can be placed.
Dates for training are yet to be set up. The database appeared to be a user friendly experience. Retrieved items will be delivered to the Central Library and dispersed from there so if you are advising a borrower they would get the item sooner if they made Central the pick up point.

Returns for Store B – to be sent to Central Please collect the returned items which should go to the Law Basement at Central. If I can get them into the correct sequence as the teams pack I will. Otherwise they will be added to the collection separately.

Project Contact If you have queries regarding this project please refer them to me. There should be no direct contact with Allied. I need to direct all queries through the Hawkins staff member Frank Garthwaite.
