Be safe not sorry

October 25-31 is National Health and Safety Week. As part of the National campaign the University will be reviewing display screen equipment assessments. When was the last time your workstation was reviewed? Have you discussed it with your manager or building safety adviser?

Dorothy Scruton retires

Well over 100 guests paid tribute to retiring Slide Librarian Dorothy Scruton at a party held by the History of Art subject group on 8 October.

As Slide Librarian in the Image Archive since its inception 32 years ago, Dorothy has, almost single-handedly, built the collection of colour transparencies from next to nothing to over 95,000. In addition the Archive now houses the Bridson collection of photographs, CD ROMs, electronic images and much more.

Over 50 alumni from as long ago as the 1970s were able to meet Dorothy again at the celebration. Also among the guests was Professor Norbert Lynton, Emeritus Professor of the History of Art at Sussex since 1992.

Apology

In the article last week 'Sitting pretty in the Library' we unfortunately spelt Marcus Laffan's name wrong. We apologise to Marcus for this error.
