Computer changeover!
During the week 10 new PC's were delivered to the library for the changeover. The circ. desk PC's (x5) were changed over on Thursday in a process that went fairly smoothly (apart from the emergency evacuation procedure during the morning). The new machines seem to be working well and we have already seen some positive outcomes (standardized desktops; no log-ins required for Citrix; etc). The other 5 machines (Opac's) will be installed this week (Thursday) and we should see improvements in this area as well. New tables were delivered for the meting room (no more heavy hauling of desks by staff) and electrical work was completed in the workroom (allowing us to plan for the completion of changes to this area). New shelf-end display stands were delivered and installed as was an additional stand-up Opac stand. Additional shelving for the toy library equipment was purchased and will be installed this week and a new stool purchased for the student access computers. Also this week we are expecting the perimeter fencing to be installed around the school which will affect library access by students - that will be interesting!
