- STUDENTS & STAFF – Changes to ILS and Hive Facebook
This Friday (30th) we’re amalgamating the University ‘ILS’ and ‘Hive’ Facebook pages.
At the moment there are 2 separate Facebook pages with information about The Hive – a ‘University page’ and a ‘County Council page’. If you click ‘Like’ on the ILS page we’ll keep you up to date with University ILS news and information about The Hive

- STAFF – We need requests for digitisation by May 31st
With the imminent move to the Hive, it is anticipated that there may be some disruption to the digitisation service (http://www.worcester.ac.uk/ils/1271.htm).
While every effort will be made to satisfy requests placed throughout the summer, we cannot guarantee that any requests made after May 31st will be available for the start of semester one. Please place requests before this time if you know they will be essential to your modules in September. All requests placed after this date will still be processed, but may not be returned to you in time. Renewals for articles already digitised will be sent to you as normal. Many thanks for your cooperation at this time. Digitisation is proving to be a popular service with staff and students alike, and we look forward to the service growing further with your help in 2012/13.
Please contact digitisation@worc.ac.uk if you have any queries.
- STUDENTS and STAFF – Blue Book Labels
We’re beginning to sort out stock for the move to The Hive so you’ll have noticed some stickers appearing on books…
Blue stickers indicate which books are in high demand by the University. Members of the University will be able to borrow up to 12 of these items at any one time, members of the public will be able to borrow 1, and they may be reserved for University students at peak times. Soon you’ll notice some orange stickers appearing, these will be on short loan University books. Only members of the University will be able to borrow these items, for 24 hour periods. Please leave these stickers in place.
