FYI

At present you can’t get anywhere if you use the staff exit door – the undercroft is currently roped/blocked off. I have told Sandra to notify Joan, who hopefully can get the cordon to exclude the afterhours returns bins and the staff exit door so we can open up in the morning…just something to be aware of. The front stairs/locker room/disabled lift/entry should still be accessable.

Hi all

Just a couple of things to know if you are working the central library desk.
– Interloan holds are in the cupboard behind the mid-height CKI pc.
– Lost Property is collected on the 2nd-to-bottom shelf in the cupboard behind the mid-height CKI pc
– key to the photocopiers (by the copy centre) = in a black pen mesh tray in the cupboard behind ICTS service desk. we need this to restock the machines (copiers and printers) with paper (this is now the shared responsiby of ICTS and library staff)
– when you are logging on first thing in the morning
– please only log-in one Horizon session (central location on pc with the RFID pad and high demand on the other pc)
– ON THE PC WITH RFID PAD open the rfid “Circulation Assistant” (doubleclick on the desktop) – when you are in the Horizon window the “smart library circulation assistant” should show in a small bow – green if you are in CKO – red if in CKI.
– if the “smart library circulation assistant” freezes – wait a few seconds and try again (e.g. flip between CKI/CKO a few times). if nothing seems to work close the program and open it again…if it still won’t read a tagged book try restarting the computer. If none of that works tell Fiona Tyson, Romy and/or E-services.

A progress report.

I have done some testing this morning to ensure the new client installs and connects OK. Lin is now preparing a package to send the software out to Library Support Services staff. We will probably send this out to a couple of staff first as a test.

I expect we will have to make a few minor path changes within the Voyager client itself but we’ll sort those out during testing. Hopefully by this afternoon we will be up and running.

Thanks, Peter K

For the Resource and Discovery teams:
As you know, the Te Puna Voyager client will need to be upgraded on Monday 20th for you to use the new National Library catalogue. Lin and I have done some preliminary work on this but we can’t adjust the final settings until we can actually get access to the upgraded catalogue – at the moment the new Voyager software will not run because it is trying to connect to the older database at the National Library.

I am hoping I can do some testing before the weekend, but it may be necessary for us to wait until Monday. The testing will not take long – it is mainly to do with the templates and other local customizations that we have used over the years. Nevertheless it may mean you do not have Voyager access until later on Monday.

Thanks, Peter K

One of the black Bluetooth barcode scanners (Scanner 2) that was used for weeding or stock movement has been missing for over a week. It’s likely to be somewhere on levels 8-11. If it is found, could it please be returned to the “Library IT” office on Level 5.

Thanks,
Donna

The Evansdale cheese rep popped in the other day with an order form for their Christmas offerings. I have pinned that up on the staff room notice board.

There will not be a tea lady in attendance today, Wednesday 20th, as Shirley has the day off.

Please wash your own cup and any plates you may use and keep the area tidy.

Thank you.
