ComAbstracts
ComAbstracts is one of two new databases for communication and journalism. It contains abstracts of articles published in the primary professional literature of the communications field. Our subscription includes access to all services offered by CIOS such as the Electronic Journal of Communication, ComIndex, the Visual Communication Concept Explorer and ComVista.
The other new database is the Chapman Archive: the Robert and Noeline Chapman Audio Visual Archive is “New Zealand’s largest and most continuous collection of broadcast news and current affairs available in an ‘as broadcast’ form.” The Archive is a searchable online database of content from programmes broadcast on NZ television and radio, dating back to the 1960s, with regular recording of news and current affairs programmes from mid-1984.
A password is required to access the Chapman Archive (registered University of Canterbury users only).

The head count reminder will only pop up on your screen if you’ve got Micosoft Outlook open. It can be minimised at the bottom of the screen.
NON Library CD-Rom S50 copy 6
A student Branko Pasic came to library in regards to msdn cd-rom s50 copy 6, He says he gave it to his lecturer due to a fault, the lecturer has not returned it and Pasic now has an $18 fine. I asked him to try and get his lecturer to return it or get in contact with library and asked him to check back during normal hours.
Checking out interloans
A reminder to turn off the Old Habits Autopilot when fetching interloans from the Hold Shelf. Any interloan where there is a Hold Block on the borrower’s record must be checked out on Horizon using the barcoded blue card in the front. A few staff have forgotten to do this and just handed the interloan over. This involves extra work for the Interloans team so please be careful.

NZ Room books
As most non-classroom, non-CCE material from the NZ Room will become lending, if customers want a copy of something in the NZ Room and it is not a classroom resource or a CCE publication, we can change it to lending and issue it at the desk. Change the collection code to tb2 and and the i type to b. Also twink out the NZ on the book cover and put a line through any reference only stickers. A checklist of things that can’t be changed and issued includes: school journals, all other classroom materials type stuff, all CCE publications including those student project things, any part catalogued stuff on the right hand wall, anything that looks particularly valuable or rare. If in doubt, ask Elizabeth, Kerry or Caroline, if not in doubt, go for it. 🙂 Caroline
