  • Update 2004 the SHF Group Has Been Meeting Almost Fortnightly For
    Update 2004 The SHF group has been meeting almost fortnightly for over a year now. The group was established to counter the University’s proposals to close the Seale-Hayne Faculty and transfer all courses, staff and students to the Plymouth Campus. The update, in brief - is that we have not succeeded yet! Since its formation, SHF has attracted many concerned and notable individuals all of whom are questioning the decision to relocate Seale-Hayne’s activities to Plymouth. There has been a great deal of pressure on the chancellery of the University, mostly generated by SHF. The media (local media especially) have taken a keen interest throughout the year, as have Newton Abbot, Teignbridge and Devon County Councils. The group has provided a vehicle for questioning many of the reasons for relocation that have been given by the University, questions which have in the most part been met with a wall of silence. There appears to be very little information available about the relocation plans. This is enormously frustrating for everybody concerned; staff, students and planners, as well as the members of SHF. At the time of writing (March 04) the plans for closure are still being implemented. Many staff have already left Seale-Hayne and have not been replaced, putting huge pressures on the remaining staff. This fact alone suggests that SHF may not now be able to prevent the closure; the train is too far down the track to turn back. And there is also unease amongst students about the effect of the poor change management upon their higher education and course results.

  • Climate Change Risk Management for Buildings
    Climate Change Risk Management for Buildings Tian, W. School of Architecture, Design and Environment, University of Plymouth (email: [email protected]) Pan, W. School of Architecture, Design and Environment, University of Plymouth (email: [email protected]) de Wilde, P. School of Architecture, Design and Environment, University of Plymouth (email: [email protected]) Abstract This p aper r eports o n research that a ims to quantify the therm al ri sks th at climate ch ange po ses towards buildings, allowing a dis cussion about the acceptability of these risks. The work aim s to ultimately establis h risk threshold values, help ing the facilities management proces s. The paper reports on two different but inte rrelated research ac tivities: (1) work in the field of buildi ng performance s imulation, where com puter m odels are used to predict th e th ermal b ehaviour of buildings under present and future conditions, and (2) a recent series of workshops/expert panels that were organised to discuss initial findings with actors in practice as well as academia. The results show that building sim ulation can indeed be used to predict future behaviour, but tha t ex treme care is needed in p reparing th e de tail of the future scenarios that are bein g investigated. This covers non- trivial issues like uncertainties in renovation/interventio n activities, changing heat load and user profiles, thermal comfort control assumptions, and system degradation. Without suff icient attention for detail uncertainties over the simulation input would render the outcomes useless.

  • A Solution to the Holy Grail of Document Delivery in the UK
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Plymouth Electronic Archive and Research Library ILDS 35.1 Titley rev 30.10.06 Electronic Signatures for Copyright in the UK: a solution to the ‘holy grail’ of document delivery Graham Titley Document Delivery and Copyright Librarian University of Plymouth, Plymouth, UK. Abstract Since 1988, when the current Copyright Design and Patents Act (1988) was passed into law, document delivery of photocopies in the United Kingdom has been burdened by the weight of the paper trail – having to obtain a personally signed Copyright Declaration each and every time a user asks a prescribed library1 to obtain a photocopy from another library, and then having to store the declarations for 6 years plus one day from the end of the year in which it was signed! Hopes were raised that, with the adoption of the Electronic Signature Regulations in 2002 (Statutory Instrument 2002, No. 318), this paper mountain could be reduced to electronic storage. These hopes were quickly dashed when the gamut of professional opinion and advice railed against the simple adoption of Personal Identification Numbers (PINs). They were deemed to be insufficient, in and of themselves, to meet the definition of an advanced electronic signature as provided in the regulations. This article describes the drivers for change that influenced a revisiting of the issue of electronic signatures for copyright by the University of Plymouth library service, and how an electronic ‘request-to-delivery’ service has been achieved, reducing ILL turn around times for photocopies from an average of 7 days to an average of 2.5 days.
