The radiator in Seminar Room 2 has sprung a leak and the carpet there is now reasonably waterlogged. I have rung FM and they will come and check it out. I have also put a recycling tray under it to stem the flow but it will need to be checked every so often to be of any use. We also probably need to keep an eye on the ceiling underneath Seminar Room 2 – probably above the mopier? – to deal with any water that may also come through there. Students that were in the room seemed rather desparate for the space and were continuing to work around the water but may need to be shifted along once FM arrived.

The base of the beloved bed in the tea room seems to have cracked and broken.

The cause is not immediately obvious.

It would be advisable to use the bed only with due caution until further notice.

As above – Have left voice mail for Copy Centre and begun redirecting people

Lately, for one reason or another, we have had depts asking for a list of theses for their dept. There does not seem to be any single way of doing this.

Any suggestions?

Seem to be going off all the time for no reason. I have rung 3M who service them.

Details:

Needed to get Purchase Order number from Maureen first (which 3M use as our reference number)

Ph: 0800 365 427

They need the serial number and model number which are both on bottom right as you are walking in to the library.

Reference number they gave us is Ref:218100

Downstairs student computer LIBS3 keeps turning itself off and on again – or to be precise keeps trying to reboot itself.

I have told Library I.T. and they are looking in to it.
