Due to public demand we are going to loan out network cables to library members for use with their own laptop.
Marianne has put three cables in a box with a sheet to record the name/smartcard of the person and the time of issue and return. This box is next to the laptop cables. If demand increases, more will be supplied.
You can use the Smartcard database to check dates and times a reader has entered the Library.
Get the record up, click on the pie chart icon on the right and put in the range of dates you want, if they aren’t included in the default.
You need to remember Data Protection issues before giving this information out. However there’s an exemption in the Data Protection Act when police can be given details if they are investigating a crime/suspect.
In 1986, 900 years after the original Domesday Book, the BBC published the Domesday Project. The project an attempt to capture the essence of life in the United Kingdom. Over a million people contributed to this digital snapshot of the country & I was one of then at school in Bedlington at the time.
At the begining of May 2011, this information was given it’s own website in orer to add to the information agtered and (more impostantly for us library folk) make available an amazing archive of images and memories from the 1980’s.

FILLING PAPER TRAYS IN CLUSTER PRINTERS
Paper is stored behind screens along from printers; each packet contains one ream of paper.
Open the paper ream and remove any creased sheets from top or bottom of ream.
Open bottom printer trays and carefully place paper inside, gently flatten with hand to line up the paper.
An empty lower tray will take three reams, an upper tray will take one.
Please do not put paper above the markers on the inside of the printers on either tray 2 or 3. There are markers on both the upper and lower tray, please do not overfill as this causes jams.
The colour printer only accepts one ream of paper in each tray, a message will appear in the small display if you overfill the printer.
If the display starts flickering the paper gauges may have moved slightly. Open up the tray, remove paper and align the slots to A4. The display stops flickering once this has been done correctly.
Thank you
