Library Managers met today and discussed various scenarios that may arise with the COVID-19 virus.  As well as the University webpage on COVID-19 we are aware of a number of questions.  We have submitted a list of questions to date to HR.

We also identified preparatory actions:

• All Library staff check and, where needed, update contact and emergency details on PeopleSoft
• All Library staff familiarise ourselves with remote computer access options (handy guide on the Intranet)
• Create for a webpage on the Library website which advises services available to students who may be affected eg by having to self-isolate
• Managers check their copy of team phone numbers
• Managers familiarise themselves with the Business Continuity Plan (and update the key contacts in this Plan)
• Managers agree with any staff members who are planning overseas travel what their plan would be in any event of delayed return or needing to self-isolate on their return

You are welcome to discuss with your manager any other questions you have. We will provide further updates in due course.
