Printer Service

The printers are now up and running again.

Printer Service

Hi,

All the Printers seem to be down at the moment. IT have been informed and are working on it. Might be best to check with them periodically to see if they have fixed the problem.

SPSS Disk

A CD-ROM has just been handed in at the floor one desk. I think this accompanies the book by Andy Field "Discovering statistics using SPSS" . Should a bereft student turn up a desk then the disk is now with Reader Services (or Alan to be precise).

New printer

An additional printer will be delivered to Floor 1 on Wed. This is to increase capacity so that students' work gets printed more quickly. It will go alongside the existing one once the table and old PC have been removed. It might not actually get connected up on Wed as there are several processes IT Services need to co-ordinate.

Ebrary Guides

I have put some pads of Ebrary guides to give out to students at each of the enquiry desks. There is also a more detailed (26 page) guide in the second floor information folder.

Journal of Wound Care

The individual username and password for this e-journal is now allowing access.

Projector in 208 out of order

The bulb in the projector in 208 has blown, so it (and the smartboard in that room) will be out of action until a replacement can be purchased, though the PC will of course still work. Please bear this in mind when making room bookings for students needing to use an LCD projector.

I will keep you informed about any developments

Journal of Fluid Mechanics

A significant chunk of this journal has gone down to store, 1970-1989. The record in the process of being changed. 1990 onwards is still out on the shelf.

New Photocopiers on 1st and 2nd Floors

Just to let you know that there are new photocopiers on the 1st and 2nd floors. Most importantly, these photcopiers have a document feeder!

Great idea

This is a great idea - especially for the weekend staff. If I get problems at the weekend I do try to email people but this will be a much more efficient way to reach all enquiry desk staff.
