RFID installation - Disruption Thursday 30th July


Further to the earlier post about the RFID conversion project...I'm happy to report that the Aungier St. main library is now fully converted and we are ready to move on to installing the RFID systems.

So far the library stock conversion process has (hopefully) been fairly low impact and non intrusive. However, it seems you can't pull off an RFID conversion project without making a little bit of an impact - and next week marks the slightly disruptive point of the project!

On Thursday July 30th technicians will install our RFID detection system and our new R series self check units. This is likely to impinge on the usual serenity of the library as our current detection gates need to be removed and the RFID gates and new self check systems installed - in short, there may be some drilling (!).

We realize that there are some students preparing for exams & noise in the library is not really conducive to a relaxing exam preparation environment. However we wish to remain open to students throughout the installation process.

So, we are advising students who require quiet study areas to use the newly extended Dame st library - which should be a noise free safe haven!
Dame st library will be open until 5.15 on Thursday - Aungier st remains open until 10 and should be noise free again after 5.15.

In addition classroom AS 3.4 will be available on Thursday until 10pm

The installation process should be completed by Friday July 31st but as we are having the library computers upgraded on that date, Dame st and classroom 1.6 will be available to any students who wish to study there.

Thanks again for bearing with us through the transition process - we're nearly there!
