Borrower Registration Project

1 Comment

Simplification of the borrower registration procedure for subscriber borrowers is the object of a Project Group that has been sponsored by Te Paea.

There is a general discussion document and minutes of the first meeting on the K drive: K:\LIBR-Library\Projects\Borrower-Registration

Generally, subscriber borrowers are those whose sole relationship with the library is that they wish to borrow books. There are variations on the theme but the purpose of the group is to recommend a clear and simple process.

The project group is Romy Forrer,  Jenny Owens, Lyn Gifford, Sandra Gover, Jan Scandlyn and Tim O’Sullivan.

If you have suggestions and comments please pass them on to the project group

This morning IT announced via an email to the library lending account that UC will be offering Wifi access to visitors.

The email is as follows:

Hi All

As of Monday the UCvisitor network is now open for self-registration for internet access.

A customer is  required to have a mobile number to register. This is used to send the username and password to.

The account is active for 12 hours of use and can be used on up to 3 devices at any one time.

An example is below for your reference.

  1. When a customer selects the UCvisitor network a webpage will open asking them to either register or use an existing UC IT account for access1

2. Register for a new account

2

3. Once the details have been enter and the terms of user accepted the mobile number entered will receive a SMS message containing the username and password. Please note the username is the customers password.

3

If you have any questions please let me know.

Thank you.

Coffee issues on the stairs

Leave a comment

Our colleagues who we share Central library with have mentioned that there has been an issue with coffee spills in the lift lobby of the level 1 North West Staff entrance.

In the unlikely event that this happens there is a bucket and some Handee towels on the landing beside the mail boxes. If you need help with the cleaning please let me know.

In general it has been recognized through scientific observation that stairs and coffee don’t mix well either…
