Hello,
A few
notes before the Easter weekend…
Easter Weekend Hours
Many
thanks to student assistants Amy and Kathleen who are covering our holiday
hours tomorrow, Friday, April 18th from 10:00 AM – 6:00 PM
End of Term
Best
wishes to our student assistants, Robin, Jessica, Kathleen, Krystal and Amy as
they prepare for finals.
HOM Guidelines
A reminder that if a client would like to view items
from one of the History of Medicine collections, staff can retrieve one item at
a time from the HOM room and sign the item out to the client in Sirsi for in
library use only. Staff should ensure
that the item remains sensitized while in use. Clients should return these
items directly to staff at the desk.
Staff would then discharge and re-shelve in the HOM room. More detailed HOM guidelines are available on SharePoint. Search for History, or go to the Collections
Tab > Policies > History of Medicine.
Staff Access door to Elevator A hallway
The side emergency/staff
exit door leading to Elevator A, is not latching properly, and needs to be pulled in order to close
securely. Staff using the door are asked
to double check that the door is secure.
The problem has been reported and should be repaired soon.
Town Hall Meeting
Information about the upcoming Town Hall meeting. Susan has offered to cover the desk to allow
staff to attend.
It’s time to
get the team together again! Please join us on Thursday May 1 from 10:30 a.m. –
12 p.m. in Science Theatre 148 for our Provost Team Town Hall. This is a chance
for us to recap the academic year and discuss forward planning.
Tom is encouraging all staff to attend if they are
able to do so.
Hold Reminder Notice
Sirsi is now sending out a hold reminder notice as indicated by
Mary Jane:
On April 15th, we started sending out Hold Pickup
Reminder Notices to users with University of Calgary items* on hold. The
reminder is sent to users who have an available hold that will expire in
3 days, and includes again the pickup location as well as the pickup by date.
*REMINDER*
YOUR
HOLD IS NOW AVAILABLE FOR ONLY 3 MORE DAYS
You may notice that WorkFlows’ Item Search and Display/Call Number
Item/Holds information shows the date of the latest notice in the Notified
field. This now includes the date of a hold pickup reminder notice.
The intent of this notice is to support our patrons who receive
our first notice that their hold is available for pickup, but then may forget
to follow-up.
Data Pull
We
have received notice that there will be a pull of data wiring in the library (likely
from the shaft closest to room 1458) in connection with a project
downstairs. We hope this will be done
either early morning or evening, but do not expect this to cause too much
disruption to regular routines or service.
Room 1453
While
the AV screen has been installed in room 1453, we are still waiting for a
network connection and the LCR imaging of the CPU before this will be available
for use. We hope this will be fully
operational soon.
Recycle Bins in service
area
The
small staff recycle bins in the service area and consult office will be emptied
by student staff each Sunday. This will
move to Thursday evenings during July and August.
Wishing
all a refreshing holiday Easter weekend!
Mary
