MICRO MATERIALS COLLECTION
I?or some time, several different groups have discussed the idea of estab-
lishing a collection of microcomputer books and software for staff use. The
staff development committee hopes to have funds available to purchase some I
titles after expenses are met for programs to be sponsored this year. In the
meantime, they would like to start the collection with donations. If you have
books which you are no longer actively using or software which can legally be
copied, please bring or mail them to Joanne Goode at the Math Sciences
Library.
Tari Keller has offered one or two shelves in the systems Office and some sort
of circulation system yet to be devised. If you want to retain ownership of
your materials, but loan them to the staff collection, that can be accom-
modated. The committee hopes that by implementing the idea now and ex-
perimenting with how the collection will be accessed, the collection will take
off and grow, particularly if they can find a steady income source.
If you have suggestions or comments, please call Joanne at 7-8365 or send
E-mail to jmgoode@ukcc. (Submitted by Joanne Goode.) _
EMERGENCY CLOSING: PLAN B
VVhen the University announces that it is operation on Plan B and classes are
not in session —— for example, between semesters -—, the library will not
open. If the University operates on Plan B when classes would otherwise be in
session, the Library will normally continue its regular schedule with staff
coverage as is maintained in public service units on nights and weekends.
Department heads with public service units should have plans in place for Plan
B coverage. Staff members are referred to UK Staff Personnel Policy and Pro-
cedure No. 71.0 for time reporting policies. ·
This policy does not apply to Medical Center Library personnel.
