Preston Reference Desk - Relocation & Disruption to phones

On Monday 17th March the Preston Reference desk will be relocated to a position closer to the stairs.
 
As the repositioning of the desk requires moving telephone and network cables, the task is somewhat more complex than just pushing a desk to a new position.
 
The Preston reference phone (ext 1349) will be unavailable from 7.00 am on the day, please ring 1363 if you need to contact Preston Reference desk staff.
 
A staff member will be working in the area to provide a reference service to students.
 
The aim of the relocation is to enhance customer service through a more strategically placed reference desk.
