All staff who weed the hold shelf please familiarize yourself with the following:
Library IT have made a change to Horizon which affects how hold expiry dates are calculated when the Library is closed.
Currently holds that would have expired on a closed day are set to expire on the next open day. An example of this is a hold that would have expired on Queen’s Birthday will be set to expire on Tuesday. The change that we have made means that holds will receive one additional day for every day the library is closed before the hold expires. Using the same Queen’s Birthday example, holds that would have been due to expire on the Tuesday, would get an extra day, and expire on the Wednesday.

Dirty ol’ printer
Printer is a bit noisy smelly and dirty. Should be alright for now but I rang Library IT and they will come and have a look soonish.
Reload Machine
This is out of paper. Copy Centre have been rung and will come ASAP
Printer Problems
There have been many students waiting for printing. Library IT identified a file “Lecture 33..” which was holding up the queue. They are going to get IT to delete the file, which may be corrupt.
