New Self-Issue Machine

It’s here!

After a few weeks of waiting and patiently filling in borrowing slips – thank you for your help while we were between systems – we are now in possession of our new self-issue kiosk. It’s next to the old self-issue machine, but you should also be able to find it by following the blue lights.

It will be looking after the library for us over the Christmas Vacation, and it should be easy to use and more reliable. Let us know on library@sbs.ox.ac.uk if you have any problems with it, but otherwise, please join us in welcoming the new member of the team.
