Central Filing system (on level 3)

The central filing system on level 3 has been changed from print to an electronic shared and support drive (Admin Hub).  In future there will be no more paper copies of any documents unless as requested by line managers.

Children’s reading material

I refer to my e-mail send to you on 10 October: Should have any reading material appropriate for primary school children, please drop it off at Vivian’s office. This material will be used for primary school libraries.

Moving of books on level four
The shelving staff will start this week to move the books on level four to the right in order to create space for books in the 400 class. Book recently re-labelled in this class is currently placed on the right of this level. Once the moving of books has been completed, it will be interfiled with the rest of the 400’s on the left of this level.

New Executive Director for the Library

I suppose you all received the e-mail that Dr R Bawa has been appointed as Executive Director for the library. She will start in her new position on 1 January 2012. Below a picture of our new ED.

International presentations

Pavlinka has been selected to do two international presentations at the IAMSLIC (International Association of Aquatic & Marine Science Librarians and information Centre) Conference in Zanzibar, Tanzania and the other at the International Annual Internet Librarian Conference in London, UK. Both presentations will be done in October. Good luck, Pavlinka, we know it will go well.
