And So It’s Goodnight From Him...
This Friday (1st August) the Programme Office and Millennium Support Teams will say farewell to our friend and colleague Stuart Ure, off to a new web design role in the medical industry.
Stuart has been an invaluable member of the eLGAR team ensuring the smooth operation of OPAC and constantly improving the functionality, look and feel of eLGAR's public interface.
It was Stuart’s online tutorial of the AirPac module that won eLGAR second prize in III's WebPac Be Innovative Awards this year. Stuart was part of the eLGAR team attending the 2008 IUG Conference where the prize was collected.
The eLGAR community is already feeling our loss with comments from the OPAC Team, Support and Systems Librarians around the region of regret to see Stu go.
We wish Stuart all the very best in his fabulous new job.

Return to Sender...address known
A pilot of the Held Item Delivery Project is scheduled for go-live at North Shore Libraries later in the year. As part of this project we are conducting a sub-trial called RTS Bag, as in the Elvis song...Return to Sender.
Pre-addressed courier bags will be available for purchase at North Shore Circ counters so that patrons can return borrowed library items with ease. Simple! No muss, no fuss.
RTS Bag is expected to take off as a practical service. More importantly, it will help us measure demand to assist the process and pricing model for Held Item Delivery.
We are in research mode and updates will be posted on the Blog.

Name That Space
The eLGAR Collaborative Workspace is about to enter implementation phase. As soon as the hardware and application are setup you will be able to preview the site and become familiar with it. We encourage you then to send feedback on how it works for you.
In the meantime we need to find an exciting name to capture the essence of a Collaborative Workspace.
So come on, get into the spirit of working together as eLGAR and post your inspirations to our Blog.
