I am delighted to announce that Zina Swanson has been appointed as a library assistant in EPS Library.
She has worked for UC Libraries previously from 2008-2012 so will be familiar to some of you. Zina is also an artist and we have some of her works in the UC Art Collection.
Yesterday’s earthquake is a good reminder that we still need to be prepared for any emergency situation.
Check your red emergency bag under your desk – refill your water bottle, check the date on your muesli bar or other non perishable food you have in there.
Check you have colleagues mobile numbers in your phone so you can check everyone is OK. Keep your phone charged.
Make sure you are familiar with the emergency procedures, especially if you are new to UC within last few years and not quake savvy.
Safety and wellbeing of staff is the most important thing. Hopefully you have all had a good chat and debrief this morning to make sure everyone is OK.
FYI – Central library had about 100 books on the floor, mainly on level 4. EPS had about 20 books on the floor on levels 2-3. Education had a couple of books on the floor.
The North/South walkway through Engineering buildings is closed this week because of work happening in the Plant Room. Anyone walking to EPS will need to use Forestry or Engineering Road instead.
We have been assured it will definitely be open for Monday 15 February 2016
Reload stations for adding money to Canterbury Cards are not working at both EPS and Central. We can direct students to MB Library if they need to top up, or they can do it online by Credit Card.
