For the next two weeks, some discussion rooms on Levels 9 & 11 are booked for employers to interview students for future jobs.

Does anyone know the story behind a little cat that is making itself known round the Library and security lately? It is British blue in colour with white on the tip of its tail, and paws and chest. It is also quite small and friendly. Staff in the Extended-hours team are worried about this cat and would like to find it a home if it doesn’t already have one, so please let me know if you have any information about this wee kitty-cat. Thanks.

We are setting up a working group looking at the wording and format of the Notices.

We are interested in improving communication with our borrowers, given that the Library sends between 2,700 and 12,000 print and emails notices per month. So, we would love to hear from you if you feel that there are improvements to be made in the wording and format. Let us know if you have any suggestions, comments or ideas.

We would appreciate hearing from you by 6pm, Friday 20/07/2007. Please email Sandra Gover or Seren Wendelken for further information.

The discussion rooms in the Central Library will be painted next week (9-13th July). The bookings sheets have been blocked out for that period so that the painter can get free access.

There are some rooms booked for PD&R interviews next week. Use of the rooms for this should not be a problem as the painter will not be painting all the rooms at the same time. Students who wish to use the rooms may do so but will not be able to book and will have to move out when the room is needed for painting. THere are also some prior bookings, which can stay but students will not be able to make new bookings until Saturday 14th.
