If you need to phone the Loft, please dial ext 4060 which is a generic Loft number and will have a greater chance of being answered than James Oxnam’s old personal number (ext.7935)

Please put out more paper slips from the drawer at desk if needed.
Could PSL’s International Staff please consider having a profile made to add to those of other library staff as it would make it more interesting for our students. Please contact Sharon or me. Thanks.

SourceOECD
Our access to some products on SourceOECD has been lost when our subscription was recently updated. Users will be able to connect to SourceOECD ok but may find resources which they were able to access now have a frowning face rather than a smiley one (true! these are icons to indicate access).
I have followed it up and hopefully full access will be restored asap.

Items awaiting call number, repairs, rebarcoding, etc
From now on please change the status for any item you put on the call number, repairs, rebarcoding, or stripping shelf to ‘ab’ (awaiting binding). This will ensure that the Horizon record shows where the item is. Once the item has been attended to it will need to be checked in to return the status to ‘in library’.
Archives Tip of The Week!
I seem to be the only one posting in the Blog so far but, never mind, I can be the lone blogger.
I have decided to post a weekly archives tip, which may or may not actually be weekly, depending on what is going on! You might also get more than one tip. I am sure you will count yourselves fortunate on such occasions.
Also, if you have been haunted by any archives questions (you know they keep you awake at night) I reckon this is a good place to ask them, that way we can all share the love.
Archives Tip # 1
If you want to see the stack locations of archives collections appear in Digital Library you need to login as the MB library through the Camelot link rather than through the library home page. The locations do not appear via public logins for security reasons.
Go here: http://132.181.2.68:8080/awweb/login.jsp
Login = mb
Password = mb
Once you have logged in in this manner the locations of the archives collections will magically appear!
Archives and Digital Library
A reminder to all staff concerning the archives collections and Digital Library. At present Digital Library is the only way to access archives inventories online. This should be the first port of call for anyone wanting to find out what we have in the archives collections. There are close to 1200 archival inventories searchable via Digital Library. One can search individual inventories or search across all inventories at once. I would encourage you all to explore the archives service on Digital Library and if you have any questions or feedback please feel free to contact me.
