I’ve put a copy of UC’s 2012 Guide to Enrolment on the top of the Education Library reference collection. It’s just a brief thing, not like the 2011 Enrolment Handbook. Caroline S

If you’re thinking about bicultural objectives for your topic, the Library’s bicultural plan Ngā Awa e Rua may be useful. Regards, Caroline S

Roger has just gone home sick so there will be no ICT staff at Edu today. 🙁 Caroline S

The stemming function * is not working on Multisearch at the moment. Peter has reported it to them and other sites are having the same problem. :-{ Caroline S

Hi

Heather and I (with my TEU hat on) met yesterday to discuss library building issues.Here are the notes from that meeting- you’ll have seen that Heather has already addressed some of the issues.

We agreed that the library had made good efforts to keep staff informed about the state of the library buildings and the safety of staff working in them but that there was still potential to improve communication and discussed ways to do this. We agreed that Counterculture was a useful central place for information and that it could be useful for information to be posted there even when it only appeared to affect one group of staff.

I requested that
1. Either notes or recordings of sessions with Peter Moloney etc be made available where all staff can access them
2. In the event of another aftershock closing buildings, an update on the status of buildings be provided by Heather or another manager before staff are expected to re-enter them

Heather will:
• Investigate what sort of recordings or notes may be possible
• confirm on Counterculture which buildings it is still voluntary for staff to enter
• provide clarification of why it is considered safe for a small number of staff to enter the EPS library while it is not safe for the library to be open for general use

Caroline will:
• ascertain whether there can be a specific heading on Counterculture for Earthquake related building updates

Heather reported that information on the Law building should be released this Thursday or Friday.
Heather confirmed that the small area of asbestos was discovered on Level 4 and this was the reason that level 4 was closed off for a time, and that it has been cleared now.

Asklive transcripts don’t seem to be available at the moment. Has anyone else noticed this or am I doing something wrong? I see they were unavailable a couple of weeks ago then available again. Caroline S

Can someone remind me how to add a link from Counterculture to a document on the K drive. Thanks Caroline

This is the second year that we’re running a basic find a book class for the generic orientation sessions and we’re planning to review how they’re going. We’ve drafted a feedback form to use in the classes and would be keen to know if anyone else is or has collected feedback on their classes. 🙂 Caroline, Kathryn, Ariana and Margaret
