with our websliders on our website and flat panel displays in the
library. Many thanks to Chelsea, Brian and Lourdes for the fresh content
on the sliders and panels each week highlighting our resources, services and spaces!

United Way
The UC
United Way campaign was officially launched on campus on October 1, 2014. The
UC goal for this year’s campaign is to raise $425,000 with a tandem goal of
raising the rate of participation. John Wright will lead LCR’s participation
this year. Several activities are planned and TFDL will hold a book sale again
this year.
Consumer Health Clients
Taryn has provided the following update regarding a
reduction in the number of items a client using a Complimentary Community
Reader card with a Workflows profile of ‘patient’:
Borrowers
with complementary community reader cards may sign out no more than 10 items
from the Consumer Health collection only, and are encouraged to return those
they no longer need.
Any clients who have concerns or questions about the new
guidelines may be referred to Taryn. I have updated the Client Chart in
SharePoint.
Our ideal, and a good recommendation for these clients
borrowing consumer health materials, is to “take out what they can read in 2-3
weeks, then come back and borrow more”. Thanks for the helpful and
practical wording Brandie!
Monitor Arms
Our new monitor arms have been
installed at the services desk for stations #1 & #2. They are very
adjustable and staff are encouraged to move them as needed to provide the best
ergonomic fit. The ‘joints’ can be adjusted as well, so please let me
know if there is any concern about the ease with which they move. The hex
key for adjusting the joints is currently in the tool tray in the cabinet
behind the service desk.
1455
The AV problems with the screen in
study room 1455 have been resolved by ITS. The screen will now work once
again with the wireless mouse and keyboard, as well as laptops.
MCCQE
The Medical Council of Canada
exams (MCCQE) and Family Medicine exams are scheduled in our Computer Commons
from October 23 rd – 29th. This session they will also be
using our 1459 and 1453 study rooms for special accommodation on some
days. During this time the Commons will be booked during daytime hours,
but will be available to all during evenings and the weekend.
Open Access Week
