HSL Access Notes - July 7th

Summer Schedule

With our summer schedule now in place for July and August, this was our first weekend closure for the summer.

Our Health Sciences Library bookmarks now note our summer weekend closures (thanks for the update Chelsea), and our voicemail at 220-6855 has been updated as well.

 

Painting in 1453, 1454, 1456A

The whiteboard walls will be painted in 1453, 1454 and 1456A this week.  The rooms have been reserved for the work from Monday through Thursday, though there may be some availability for clients during this period.

The pencil rails should also be installed in 1453 and 1459.

 

Medical Residents

The medical residents began their program July 1^st and we have seen a number of these clients at the desk this week with card issues.  Often this is caused by information not feeding into our Sirsi system properly.  Please flag any of these issues for me for further follow up.  In the meantime if these are residents, please update their records to gradstudent Sirsi profile, with expiry of 9/30/14.  Please ensure that all email/address information is complete, and enter a Note indicating your manual updates to the record.  We hope that the system will update once all information is received.  Thanks.

 

Computer Commons – July 7 – 9

Our computer commons will be booked once again this coming week on July 8^th and 9^th for full day classes.  The software load will take place on the afternoon of the 7^th, and the doors will be locked the evening of July 7^th and 8^th.

 

Supplies

The latest order of supplies have arrived at Health Sciences Library and are being distributed to Knowledge Resource Service sites.  Staff are asked to use the online OfficeMax catalogue when placing orders since this provides the most up-to-date product codes.  https://www.officemaxcanada.com . Thanks.

 

SHC

We are currently testing SHC as a hold pick up location in the Sirsi test system.  We hope this will be ‘live’ soon.  Watch for further details.

 

Elevators/directions

The HSC elevator letter assignments have changed.  The directions to Health Sciences Library in our webpage have been updated.  A copy of the n our Foothills Campus Elevator Wayfinding Map is on the front service counter with our map of Health Sciences Library.  It can also be found at :  http://medicine.ucalgary.ca/files/med/UC_FoothillsCampus_ElevatorLocator_12JUN14.pdf

 

Copier in HMRB Hallway

Had an interesting call this week from a staff member working in HMRB asking for their passcode for the copier in the HMRB hallway!  As it turns out, this photocopier, that you can see at the end of the HMRB hallway when you exit our back Health Sciences Library door, has been converted to a staff only copy machine that requires a staff code.  There is a huge poster on the wall by the machine indicating that staff must go to their department coordinator to get their passcode, but below this it mentions that students can do their copying at the Health Sciences Library and it gives our contact information.  So if you get a question at the desk about the HMRB copier codes, please direct staff to the department, and students may use our copiers with their Unicards.

 

Hope all enjoy a great ‘Stampede’ week!
