Bindery, Missing Items and Storage Request form
Please use the new form in the vertical file drawer at the front desk for all manual requests.
It is on Camelot at http://camelot.libr.canterbury.ac.nz/lending/ This has a dual purpose of allowing us to forward requests electronically and also to print our own supplies. It features a watermark text ‘Have you checked for an on-line alternative’ that prints best directly from a PC to the copier i.e.
don’t copy from a print version of the form.
Instructions about the form and when to use it are in:

Missing books & missing barcoded serials procedures
Please note that from now on PSL’s procedures for missing books and missing serials which have been barcoded are as follows:
After it has been established that the item is missing the staff member at the front desk is to change the status to missing-tracing.
• Find the item record in Horizon staffPAC
• Press F10 or click on the send to icon
• Select Checkin, OK
• Select In house use, OK
• Edit item
• Change status to ms
• Save & close
Tell the borrower that we will do a thorough search for it and ask them if they would like to be contacted if it is found. If so place a request for them.
• F2 search to find the book record
• F5 to place a request
It is not necessary to complete the paper form for barcoded missing items. Patrick and Michelle will run a report and search for them each Sunday. However for any items which need to be searched for immediately please give the details to Joanne or Nicola.
Head Count
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.

Stat 222 Restricted loans
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.
Electronic Stapler
This has gone for repairs.
StudentNet and printing
If students wish to print a word document from StudentNet they are better to use the computers in the Research Room rather than on Level 1. In general, Level 1 computers don’t cope with Word documents.
The Oxford English Dicitonary vol. 1
Can staff please keep an eye open for Volume I of the “Oxford English Dicitonary” which seems to be missing from the Reference Collection? This was mentioned to me by a user who hasn’t seen it for awhile.
