The mouse on the Batstation facing the South wall often stops working. Just grab the keys and unplug and replug it and it should work again (it has a usb connection).
There isn’t much room in the case, so please make sure you pull the wiring and mesh bag round the side of the computer so the cooling fan is clear and has some space between it and the case or it gets too hot.
I wondered if we should change the home page on the desk terminals back to the library’s home page as this is the students’ starting point and would save us having to click back to it to show them where to go. CS
If borrowers require books from PQ7797 to PR1941 during the painting trial, please direct them to the Lending desk. We have set up some temporary printed request cards to get the borrowers details and the item details.
The painters advise us that library staff can make retrievals from this area after 5 pm every day. The Extended Hours team will do this for us, so requests will be placed on the Hold shelf for collection next day.
Lending Services is conducting a trial of the 3M Self Check Machine beside the Central Library Lending desk, starting today, 8/8/07 and ending 14/8/07. A roster of staff has been set up (between 11am and 3pm weekdays) to invite borrowers to try out the Self Check. We will observe how they use it and make notes on usability and problems as well as inviting comments. Library staff are welcome to comme and try it out. Outside of these times, it will be turned off and a Not in Use sign placed on it.
Students are asking to put up their UCSA campaign posters. This is OK, if they put them on the pinboards above the L2 study desks, or the pinboard in the L1 cafe area. It is NOT ok to put them in the study rooms, corridor to study rooms, research room or other notice boards eg. Education News, front doors etc. Please explain to them which pinboards are appropriate.

This is the section to the right of the one where the ceiling has already been painted. It is in the classification area PQ 7797 to PR 1941, and includes ceiling, metal doors to the balcony, wood panelling, walls, and a substantial amount of graffiti on the concrete.
A system for retrieving items from this area will be put into place – details soon.
Please remind students wishing to place holds on Kiwidex that it is available online through the library catalogue. They can download the chapter they are interested in. Thanks.
Students doing PHIL 139 (Ethics, Politics & Justice) may ask for assistance with a library exercise, which as for COMS 101 has been made compulsory. It is similarly designed to familiarise them with finding library resources beyond the course reading list. It shouldn’t be a problem helping anyone with it, but I don’t mind being called on if my help is needed…
