HSL Access notes - June 4th
Hello,
A few notes to begin the month of June....
Consult Office Schedule
We are still on a reduced consult office schedule for the next two weeks.
June 4-8:
IM is being monitored for HSL by the HIN Knowledge Centre staff. Thanks.
hslibr email is being monitored by HSL librarians.
June 11-15:
IM and hslibr being monitored by Lourdes or front desk staff if Lourdes is away.
June 18th:
Regular consult office hours resume, 8:00 a.m. - 4:30 p.m.
Cancer Care Literature searches June 4-8
With TBCC librarians away next week, HSL staff will be helping with literature searches from Cancer Care. Requests will be forwarded to hslref list.
Service Desk Coverage
With fewer service staff available, we continue to use single staffing at the desk more often during this time. Thanks to Kathy and Lorraine and Janine for some of the extra coverage when needed!
We are pleased that many of our students assistants, Diana, Marissa, Jessica, Winnie, have been able to assist with morning shifts and assignments.
Printing at HSL
We have had a number of questions about printing recently.
AHS staff may print work related materials from the HSL back up computer at no charge.
Patient/patient family clients may print materials that are medical in nature from the HSL back up computer at no charge.
AHS staff, community clients and patient/patient family clients may print materials from the HSL back up computer that are of personal interest however are charged similar to UofC clients .08 cents per page (.16 for double sided sheets) for black and white and .39 cents per page for colour.
Requesting Videos from Visual and Fine Arts (3rd floor TFDL)
We rarely have client requests for videos from the VFA department in TFDL. These items are generally have a one week loan period and can be renewed, however and cannot be placed on hold. The staff at VFA are willing to facilitate requests for UofC and HIN clients. This could begin with an request sent to hslcirc or hsldoc email.
Individual Study Room
There is a special arrangement with the faculty allowing one student to book individual study room 1481C through August 31st. Since he has requested that he sign the key in and out (generally students keep the key when a room is booked) as needed, we need to track the use and whereabouts of the key. I have created a simple spreadsheet that needs to be completed by staff and initialled by the client and staff each time the key is signed in and out. The student's room booking form and the spreadsheet are in the extended room booking binder.
At the moment there are two different clients who may have access, Dr. Lampard, and student Mikkel Dack. We may get a list of additional names of those who can access the key at a later date. Since there may be confidential information in the room, staff should ask for ID when someone asks for the key. At the moment the student has the key and 1481C should remain locked. Thanks.
Individual study room 1481D is also booked for an extended period and should remain locked.
Supplies
Thanks to all for sending in their supply requests and special thanks to Kathy for working on our June supply order! Kathy hopes to have the order sent out this week.
New Garbage and Recycle Bins
We have received new garbage and recycle bins. The paper recycle bins replace the green bags that had been in place by the copiers in the public and staff workroom areas. There is a new tall bin in the HSL kitchen for beverage containers that can be returned for deposit. The small box in the kitchen will be for other recyclable containers and will be emptied regularly by Zhen, our caretaker.
Phone 220-6855
We recently lost our voicemail option on our 6855 phones. This has been reported and should be restored on Monday.
Please let me know if there are any questions, concerns or suggestions.

HSL Access Notes - April 5th
Hello,
A few notes to begin the month…..
Staff computer updates
ITS has been able to upgrade a few of the staff computers in the service area. The computer at station #3 (sit down) has been upgraded, that should speed up processes. Both Brian and Grace’s computers have been upgraded, and Brian’s computer now has a double screen. The second screen acts as an extension to the first, and items can be simply dragged from one screen to the other.
Glen was able to also adjust our laptop so that when used with a data projector, the desktop with display both on the laptop and the screen.
You will notice a slight change to the login screen at service desk station #2. The login screen will show a window with
username: libuser
Password:
Log on to: WS706936
Simply enter our LCR login password in the password field to access the desktop.
Coming up next, all of the keyboards in the computer classrooms will be replaced within the next week or two, prior to the MCCQ exams at the end of the month.
ITS
At HSL please route technology concerns to Lourdes who is our liaison with ITS, or myself as backup.
A message from Paul Pival regarding technology concerns…
When your computer appears to be ill, please contact itshelp@ucalgary.ca first, and not main IT (itsupport). The former will come to our crack team of LCR experts, who are the ones who built the image on your PC, and thus are intimately familiar with how it works.
Mail Changes in service area
In consultation with staff, and in response to the growing number of items we have in transit to different locations, we have made a few changes for managing mail in the service area. We are going ahead with this and would be happy to hear any additional feedback.
TBCC and WHKC mail pick up trays have moved from the back workroom area to the bookshelf under the clock in the service area.
Mail and items going to main campus are now being sorted on a table beside the service area photocopier. This includes:
TFDL Courier
TFDL returns bin
HDL return bin
Other campus mail
Extra empty bins will be kept under the table
There are now separate outgoing mail trays for ACH, RGH and PLC on top of the cabinet where all outgoing mail used to be sorted. There is one additional tray for all other outgoing mail, for example Canada Post items, beside the KC trays.
Thanks for your good ideas and help setting this up today Janine!
Duplicate Call Numbers
Please note that with new book processes, it is possible for two books to have the exact same call number. When pulling items for the hold list, please ensure to check titles as well as call numbers. It is the university barcode that is the unique identifier for each item.
Back care videos
HSL has received 4 copies of a "back care video" for our Compulsory Education collection that may be needed by Occupational Health & Safety employees.
These were formerly the Calgary Health Region videos that were in the white Compulsory Education binders that we discarded about a year ago.
Mackie Collection
Hello, we will be receiving additional materials for the Mackie History of Medicine collection soon. As well, we have special covers on order to use with especially fragile items.
We are preparing to send a second batch of items from this collection for digitization.
Alumni Renewals
Clients who have Alumni cards with expired privileges can have their privileges extended for one year from the date of renewal. There is currently no fee for Alumni library privileges.
Chairs
Every adjustable public study chair was checked for proper function this week, and staff were given a very helpful demonstration. The chair seat can be adjusted:
Height - front pull out lever on right side(when sitting)
Depth (chair cushion can move away from or closer to the chair back)- back pull out lever on right side.
Back Lean - lever on left hand side. Press down to unlock, lean back, press lever up to lock. If locked in lean position, press lever down, lean back slightly and chair back will reset.
Tension - turning knob on end of lever on left hand side. Loosen for less tension in chair back.
Booking Equipment Calendars
We are in contact with Paul Pival to create equipment booking calendars in Outlook. In the meantime Leslie has created printed calendars for equipment booking. Thanks Leslie.
Calendars for the following are in the equipment cupboard beside the equipment:
BENQ data projector
NEC data projector
PC Laptop
MAC Laptop (not yet available)
IPad 1
Skype Camera
Please let me know if you have any questions, suggestions or concerns.
Happy Easter, happy spring,
Mary

HSL Lunch Room
Updating group Email lists
With a number of changes in staff recently, this might be a good time to review any group email lists that individuals have created.
Timesheet Training
Important**Timesheets and training for new online submission:** A reminder that all support staff (INCLUDING STUDENT/HOURLY EMPLOYEES) will be entering their own timesheets through self-service starting with the Aug. 1-15 timesheet period. Please make sure you have taken the Time Reporting eLearning Course. The instruction guide for accessing the training through Blackboard is printed and sitting on Brian’s desk. Also a set of headphones that you will need. Remember to allow pop-ups so that all simulations will work properly. Next timesheet will be done online – be prepared! Let me know if you run into any snags with the program.
** If you are going to be away when timesheets are due prior to August 15th, you will need to complete and submit ahead of schedule.
** Students, if online timesheets are not submitted (we cannot initiate this online on your behalf), your pay will be delayed until the next pay period.
Each of you have received a "Need IS2 Help" handout with help desk phone numbers.
Library entry
Work continues on the library entry, and the installation of the new RFID gate has begun. To facilitate the work, the entry and exit lanes have been switched.
Please note, our current security system is still fully operational.
Consultation Office
Room 1451 is now a consultation office. The phone number for the office is 220-3749.
The workstation in the office now defaults to the circulation area printer. You can also access the stand alone colour printer from this workstation.
Relais
A new version of Relais was installed for DDS services this week. The Relais team continues to troubleshoot some problems that has had some affect on DDS capabilities at HSL and main campus. Thanks Kathy and Lourdes for your work to provide service using alternate delivery methods this week.
Computer Classroom
While I am away, Annley will be the main contact for Classroom bookings. The new version of SPSS has been uploaded temporarily for a workshop beginning next week. The wall will need to be in place each morning.
IDB Form
A new IDB form has been created by LCR Finance for using when issuing or adding funds to group copy cards. The forms are kept on the shelves under the POS. The new forms are similar to the ones we have used in the past. Finance has indicated that we must always have the signature of the Budget holder (signing authority for the trust account), and proper Peoplesoft code for processing IDB add-ons.
UME
The new Undergraduate Medical Education (UME) students had their orientation today and will be returning to classes August 2nd. Staff may see an increased number of questions and students with new cards at the desk next week.
Health Information Network (HIN) Online Requests
In the past all FMC questions and requests from the HIN website were directed through hslibr.
We have made a couple of changes to this as shown below, to try to streamline processing. We will monitor for a few months. I will appreciate your feedback.
Send us an email question – hslibr - no change
Request an article – hslibr - change to hslcopy
Request a book – hslibr - change to hsldoc

Sirsi Due Dates
Due to some upcoming Sirsi system work, due dates will be adjusted internally so that no books will come due on the dates shown below:
August 19-21
August 26-28
This should not affect regular Sirsi operation.
The Alberta Library Card (TAL) clients and Holds
By policy, TAL clients are still not able to place holds on items currently checked out or available on our shelves. They can however request access to items in HDL or in TFDL that are currently not accessible otherwise. They can do this by finding the item in the catalogue and clicking on the hold button. An option displays that takes non-UofC clients to a form that they can complete to request an HDL or TFDL item. If they use the form to request other types of items, they will receive a return email with further information (from main campus circulation) explaining access or directing them to the appropriate location for borrowing.
Barcodes
A message from Collections… Blue striped barcodes will be used from now on for all new materials coming into the library , including new gift materials. These blue-striped barcodes will be placed on the outer back cover of books. Shelf ready books will also eventually have all blue-striped barcodes on the outer back cover of books. We have seen a few of these at HSL already.
Compulsory Education Material
A message from Taryn regarding the new CPR (BLS) manuals… We’ve just received word that the Heart & Stroke Foundation is still experiencing delays with getting the manuals out and they won’t be available at the beginning of August. Please hold on to your 2005 copies.
HSL Video Library
Did you know that Melanie and Kelly have created a set of tutorial videos on a range of topics, including Refworks, EndNote and Searching tips.
Look for the videos on our HSL webpage under Resource Demonstration videos or link to at: http://library.ucalgary.ca/hsl/resource-demonstration-videos
Formatting A Thesis
Heather has taken on the thesis formatting assistance, please refer clients with questions about this to Heather and she will set up a consultation with them.
