The Access and Collections team have planned a team outing on Friday 27 January from 1.45 pm. If you require assistance on an urgent matter then please call Joan on 021 179 1234 or Peter Kennedy on 027 609 7444 (Helen and Tim S are both on leave). We will be over at the Ilam gardens so we can come back if needed.

We are recruiting for a Resource Discovery Librarian. We have opted for a 6 month fixed term appointment so that there is time to explore other options within the current staffing and to ensure that when a permanent recruitment is approved we have the best mix of skills and experience to take the team forward. If an internal applicant (permanent) is the preferred candidate, their current position will be held for their return at the end of the contract. The vacancy is now live on UC Vacancies, the closing date is 6 February. Please get in touch if you have any queries regarding this vacancy. Joan
