New email list for lecture room services

A new email list for Lecture Room Services has been set up. It is lrs@bradford.ac.uk. We hope that this will lessen the chance of missed bookings when an email is sent to a named individual who may not be available to read it and respond in time. All the staff in Lecture Room Services will have access to this new list. You can also use it to report faults with equipment in rooms.

We would like to set up a user group so that those users who are interested in the facilities in rooms can receive notification of improvements, downtime and losses. If you wish to be added to this group - email lrs@bradford.ac.uk with "add to user group" as the subject header.

We would also like to receive comments from users on the facilities you find in rooms. You could do this through your school rep on the newly formed Lecture Room Facilities Users Group or directly to lrs@bradford.ac.uk.
