Laptop cables

We have had a student who just wanted to borrow a laptop cable as he has his own laptop. Please don’t issue one of the cables numbered 1-30 as these are intended to be issued with our laptops.

I have a couple of spare cables which can be used for this purpose (cables 37 and 39). The issue cards are in the box with the other issue cards and the cables are in a pamphlet box next to the rest of the cables.

Just issue/discharge to the reader in the normal way.

Thanks
Marianne

Due to difficulties of accessing the current Stores Returns shelves, new shelves have been designated for Returns which are opposite the STC desk. These have been clearly labelled for your attention.
Thank you!

Vending machine refunds

I thought this information may be useful to know since the vending machines in the cafe are proving a bit unreliable at the moment. People who lose their money i.e. the drink or snack is not vended can get a refund from the Catering office in Kings Road Centre (I presume during office hours) . This is the case for all vending machines maintained by University Accommodation and Hospitality Services across campus.
