I’ve added a Calendar reminder to the desk login to help us remember the head counts in Angela’s absence. At the designated hour, a pop-up box will appear on the desk computers reminding that the count is due. After it’s done we’ll need to “dismiss” the reminder.

Eftpos machine now working.

Eftpos machine not doing anything when Canterbury card is scanned. Have restarted it, and informed Copy Centre.

Students have been looking for the following on three hour loan-
Probability and Statistical Inference by Hogg and Tanis
Mathematical Statistics by Freund
An Introduction to Mathematical Statistics and its applications by Larsen and Marx
These books are currently out on loan. They have been recalled and will be processed for Restricted Loan as soon asap.

This has gone for repairs.

I have phoned Security to contact the Cleaners re a puddle in the disabled users toilet. Toilet is closed until it is cleaned.

Thanks to Peter Hosking for this info….

We currently have a problem with current year access to a number of our Springer subscriptions.

Springer have an unusual policy: they say that we have to request access each year. So although we have had access in previous years we have to ask them again this year to give us access.

Most of our subscriptions are with Swets and Ebsco so we have asked them to claim this access. This is taking some time.

I have removed the rubbish bin from the left side of the desk and replaced it with a paper recycling tray now that we can recycle all paper receipts.

Some former students may wish to submit their thesis electronically but no longer have a username and password. Here’s some information from Peter Kennedy:
The digital thesis upload link requires students to login – this is just to prevent others playing, but doesn’t serve any other role. Two groups of students cannot use this link.

The first group comprise those former students that no longer have a login, but need to deposit a current thesis. We email out to them this link which does not require a login:

The second group comprises those depositing a thesis retrospectively. We send them out this link:

which is a simpler form because they completed most of the documentation at the time they submitted their original print thesis.

In all cases we will also accept theses on CDs although we would normally ask them for additional details, namely Supervisor, email address, and keywords – the rest should be available from the thesis itself.

Any other enquiries to Julie Lewis or Library:IT
