A new cardax system has been installed today at the Warehouse. Keys are no longer required. Take your staff Canterbury card with you, wave it in front of the disk (the proximity chip will recognise you if you are entitled to access) and input your door PIN. If your card does not allow you in, talk to your Manager about getting permission added to the Cardax system.

I attempted to issue lecture notes to a borrower at 4.10pm. The computer told me it was too close to closing time to issue a 1 hour loan. The computer was perhaps thinking that we close at 5pm today? I was able to issue the item through the Restricted Loans Horizon screen. The problem was in the PSL Horizon screen.
(this is obviously the same thing that was being encountered during our extended opening hours)?

The floor is flooded. I have notified Security. They will send someone over to look at it, to decide whether to get a plumber in. Have put a notice up advising that MSCS building is open till 9.30pm and Central Library till 10pm.

(seen on LISnews.com) Educause has come out with another of their “7 things” publications, this one on Wikipedia. It’s short and sweet, presenting a particular scenario about a student using Wikipedia...and the 7 things you should know. It’s not pollyannaish, nor hysterical. Kind of a nice counterpoint to Michael Gorman’s screed over on Britannica

The room locations and timetable for current Uni. exams are available at:

Radiators by Adam and Meg’s desk not working. Not wanting to be wimpy but hve rung Facilities Management to let them go in case indicative of a bigger problem.

On Saturday and Sunday (16-17) students were able to put money on their Canterbruy card but not able to access it for printing or internet. IT were contacted and are still working on the fix. If any students are currently having problems, or want to query their account, please refer them to the Copy Centre.

The 2006 Phys 412 exam paper is available through the exam papers link on the Library Home page, but previous years are on RL as E-reserves. Please direct students to find them via a course code search.

There’s no milk in the fridge so I have rung the milkman. Left a message saying if they’re on campus this morning could they please bring us some.

Tonight horizon would not let me issue a 1 hour loan from physical science location at 8:15 pm, I got a message saying it was to late to issue 1 hour loans as they can’t go over night.
does anyone else think this is a problem?
