Kia ora koutou

ITS are in the process of removing references to the now defunct Learning Resources department.

As part of this they need to move our K:drive to a new location (its current file path is file\departments\learning resources\LIBR-Library – it will be moved up a level to file\departments\LIBR-Library).   The move should be fairly quick but could take a couple of hours, during which time files will be unavailable.

They are proposing a time of 5pm Thursday October 15th to start the move.  If this timeframe is going to cause significant issues for you please let us know ASAP.

We’re hoping there won’t be any significant consequences of the move, especially if ITS can re-map the drives on our computers for us.  Most of the links we have to documents on the K drive are to K:\LIBR-Library\… so will still work as long as our drive mappings are ok.

In preparation for the move ITS are requesting we try to reduce the size of the K drive (smaller folder will take less time to move over).  If there are any files (especially large files like  images, video recordings) no longer required on the K drive in your folders, it would be good if these could be deleted or moved ahead of the move.

We will update with more around this topic as we know more – at this stage they just want to set a date for the move.  They’ll be moving their own K drive before they do ours so should be aware of potential issues that come out of it.
