Head Count
I’ve added a Calendar reminder to the desk login to help us remember the head counts in Angela’s absence. At the designated hour, a pop-up box will appear on the desk computers reminding that the count is due. After it’s done we’ll need to “dismiss” the reminder.
StudentNet and printing
If students wish to print a word document from StudentNet they are better to use the computers in the Research Room rather than on Level 1. In general, Level 1 computers don’t cope with Word documents.
Welcome to the MB blog!
Hi all, please add items to this blog whenever necessary. Thanks.
Bindery, Missing items and storage request cards
New forms now available in the usual place at the Help Desk.
Cheque
A cheque has been handed in- see the lost property book in the drawer. CS
Lending Services staff are happy to search for Central Library items that borrowers report absent from our shelves. Our process is to search Library Catalogue first to establish the facts e.g. the items location and status, then ask a few questions such as how long the borrower has looked for the item. The next step is to give the item a ‘missing-tracing’ status on Horizon and place a request for the person who wants it. If you do not have access to Circulation, please send the person to the Lending Desk. Please do not fill out a card – this a time consuming process which we no longer use. The online process generates a search list and is much quicker.
Painting on Level 2 & 3
On Thursday and Friday (26th and 27th April) contractors will be carrying out some trial painting on Level 3.

Paper recycling
I have removed the rubbish bin from the left side of the desk and replaced it with a paper recycling tray now that we can recycle all paper receipts.
Electronic theses
Some former students may wish to submit their thesis electronically but no longer have a username and password. Here’s some information from Peter Kennedy:
The digital thesis upload link requires students to login – this is just to prevent others playing, but doesn’t serve any other role. Two groups of students cannot use this link.
The first group comprise those former students that no longer have a login, but need to deposit a current thesis. We email out to them this link which does not require a login:
The second group comprises those depositing a thesis retrospectively. We send them out this link:
which is a simpler form because they completed most of the documentation at the time they submitted their original print thesis.
In all cases we will also accept theses on CDs although we would normally ask them for additional details, namely Supervisor, email address, and keywords – the rest should be available from the thesis itself.
Any other enquiries to Julie Lewis or Library:IT
