Hi all, Because we are in transition time from the summer to fall VR schedule, there is a gap in service on Friday afternoon, September 10th. Is anyone available to work 1:00 - 2:00 pm and/or 2:00 - 3:00 pm on that day? thanks Vera

Hi I will be away on a day vacation on September 4th. My Virtural Reference shift is from 1:00-2:00. Would anyone be free to take my shift or switch a shift with me? Thanks, Cathy Mudry Supervisor St. John's College Library 92 Dysart Road Winnipeg, Manitoba R3T 2M5 (204) 474-8542

Thursday 10-11:00

Hi all. We are getting our virtual ref shifts sorted out in Arch/FA/Music and have a dilemma. With Jan G away until March and Zoe resuming her regular Thursday 1-9:00 shift, we are having trouble staffing the Thursday morning shift from 10-11:00. Can anyone trade an hour with us? Or share this slot with us and we can share one of your slots? Perhaps a Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday afternoon, between 1:00-4:00? Thanks! Mary

Weekend VR changes
by Elizabeth Braaksma 01 Feb '13

01 Feb '13

Hi everyone, There will be some changes to virtual reference hours starting this weekend. Hannah Loewen joins the team as the weekend VR operator (Saturdays and Sundays). She will be working out of my office (304A) in the Dafoe Library. Her first day will be Sunday February 2 and her last day will be Sunday April 21. Hannah's hours on Saturdays will be from 9am-5pm and on Sundays from 1pm-9pm. On Saturdays, Hannah will be the primary VR operator, with Libraries staff providing additional support from 1pm-5pm as we've done in the past. On Sundays Hannah will be the sole VR operator. Shaun Mulvey will be moving from Sundays to Fridays and will provide VR service from 1pm-9pm, with Libraries staff providing additional support as required. This is a pilot project to see if extended Friday hours will be of benefit to our students and faculty. Shaun's first Friday will be February 8. Please contact me or Gail if you have any questions.

Hi all, I just happen to have a VR shift during the VR Forum on December 10 and would like to go to the forum, if possible. If anyone is definitely NOT going to this forum , would you be willing to cover/trade a shift? Thanks, Lorna

Hi all, FYI a note from Evelyn re: IEEE difficulties. Betty From: Evelyn Bruneau [mailto:Evelyn.Bruneau@ad.umanitoba.ca] Sent: Wednesday, November 07, 2012 8:42 AM To: Shaun Mulvey; betty_braaksma(a)umanitoba.ca; Norma Godavari (ngodava2(a)gmail.com) Cc: Kristen Kruse Subject: IEEE Xplore I was able to finally get connected to their site, there I found a note stating: "IEEE is experiencing significant power disruptions to their U.S. facilities in New Jersey and New York. As a result, you may experience disruptions in service from IEEE. We apologizes for any inconvenience and thank you for your patience." I tried again and it appears to be working-for now. However, I've added a note to the A-Z list and will send out a notice through the Electronic Resources Blog. Evelyn Evelyn Bruneau B.H.
