This is advance notice of a major upgrade that will render CS Gold unavailable for a couple of days in early September. The following is from ICTS and as you can see dates are slightly vague at the moment, but we keep you informed as details become more precise.

The CS-Gold system is to be upgraded during the second week of the Semester Break, starting September 1st. The Canterbury Card incorporates many 24 hours a day services, which are linked to the CS-Gold system. This is a significant upgrade project, and unfortunately, it is likely that the system will be unavailable for a maximum of two days, sometime during this week, the most likely timeframe being Wednesday 3rd and much of Thursday 4th. The exact timing is yet to be determined and depends on how well the upgrade proceeds.

The 2008 mid-year exam papers are now up on the web. Please tell Jack if anybody notices any problems such as mis-named files. The Academic Committee has this time around allowed 5 exemtions from exams being held in the Library and they are: mgmt 101, mgmt 102, afis 123, afis 203, afis 233. These files were removed by the Printery prior to their sending me the rest of the pdf files.

These seem to be getting worse and are related to power outages at the College of Education. No word yet as to how long this is going to take.

Lift 11 in the Central Library is stuck on Level 9 – the fault has been reported to Security staff.

We have been unable to access ScienceDirect today. Library IT have been notified and hopefully the problem will be fixed tomorrow.

The Self Check machine at CL Lending has been turned off until some Horizon upgrade problems are sorted out. Library IT will advise when it can be rebooted and service resumed.
