HSL Access Notees - April 24th


Hello,

 

 

Hours

Effective May 1st, Health Sciences Library will be closed on Sundays - this weekend will see our final Sunday hours at Health Sciences Library!

 

Notification of this change has been posted, and webpage hours adjusted.

If staff have any templates or messages that include our library hours, please update to reflect the Sunday closure.

Sunday staff have been asked to notify Sunday clients in the library this weekend.  Staff are asked to please forward any client comments or concerns to susan or myself.  Thanks.

 

Sunday – Thanks

Many thanks to Kathleen and Jenna who have provided our Sunday coverage over the past months!

 

Knowledge Resource Service Site contacts

With many recent changes, Knowledge Resource Service staff lists and email lists are being updated,  however if staff are trying to contact the Knowledge Resource Service sites, using the general phone number or generic emails may be the best option.

 

 MCCQE

 The Medical Council of Canada exams begin next week.  This means that the Computer Commons will be booked for full days (8am -6pm) over the next few weeks.  They will also be using 1459, 1453, and 1454 on select days for accommodation.  Wilma Dodge is the UME contact coordinating the exams and she has library and commons keys.  She and team will be in the library early each day for set up. Wilma may also need to use the courtesy phone to troubleshoot any system issues.  There will also be an extra table and chairs posted outside the 1460A door for the exam team.

The Commons will be available during evenings and Saturdays.

This will cause limited access to some software programs such as SPSS during daytime hours.

 

LibAnswers

 Great discussion about questions types at our service meeting this week.  I have contacted RFDL with our questions, but have not received a firm response yet.

Watch for more info as it becomes available.  Please let me know if there are additional questions that need clarification.

 

Term Loans

The term loan due date will be reset to September 15th effective Tuesday, May 5th.  This is also the date the reminder notices will be sent to patrons to renew their books by May 15th.

 

New transit Bins

We will be seeing new transit bins from Collections with new books and journals items arriving at Health Sciences Library.

These will be with red & blue bins to hopefully distinguish them from other deliveries.
