ANOTHER DAY, ANOTHER GIFTWARE SALE!

At 12:45 we at UBS are slashing the prices of our sale giftware.
For 30 minutes everything will be more than 50% off the lowest marked price, under $5, or 2 for $1. Get in before the timer goes off!

Kia ora,

Just got an email from Fern at UBS. Something for all the bargain hunters out there.

“Get ready, because UBS is slashing the prices of our sale books!”

At 12:45 we’re going to start the timer and you’ll have 30 minutes to grab a basket and fill it with all the treasures you can find. Everything on the wall will be $5 or less, so make sure you come in and make the most of our spot sale.

Kia ora koutou,

We would like do the next Pānui issue in honour of Max Podstolski; artist, jazz-lover, awesome librarian and friend. So please send us pictures, memories, thoughts and anything else you might like to share with us all.

Submissions would be gratefully received before the last week of August to give us time to put it all together. Let’s make this one Max (an ex-Pānui editor) would be proud of!

Any other content would be also gratefully accepted (I wonder how many times it is acceptable to write the word ‘gratefully’ in a message. I’m sticking with twice in this case.)

Library Access and Collections have had a conversation with Standards New Zealand about uploading standards on to Learn.

First the bad news: no standard, whole or part, may be distributed electronically (and putting up a PDF in Learn is considered to be doing this) without a licence.

Below is what SNZ have confirmed about copying from standards under the Act:

As you mention, under section 44 of the Copyright Act 1994 there are provisions for educational copying. For example, you are permitted to make a single photocopy of material for use in a course if you are giving a lesson at an education establishment, or if you are making multiple photocopies but only copying a small part of the copyright material (3% or max 3 pages).

However, there is good news. Standards New Zealand are happy to offer individual licences for each time a lecturer wants to upload a standard, or part thereof, into Learn (down to specific graphs/tables) – limited to those standards for which SNZ are permitted to provide in this way (so it might rule out a number of international standards). They will also supply a clear copy of the parts required which also contain the licence information.

If you have lecturers that are interested in using standards on Learn, feel free to contact us and we can look into getting the licences for them. Helen has also confirmed the library is happy to pay for and monitor these licences.

Kia ora koutou,

We would like to dedicate a part of the next issue of Pānui to Gerald Whitla and wondered if people would like to share their thoughts/anecdotes/memories/photos of him. Please email any of the editors if you would like to do this.
