1. LIBRARY MOVE STATUS
----------------------
John Whelan Library is beeing moved partially from the Isaac Newton
Telescope to the Sea Level Office (SLO). SLO library will be the main one. The
library in the former location will have the main collections of the
astrophysical journals (ApJ, ApJ Letters, ApJ Supplement Series, A&A, A&A
Supplement, AJ, MNRAS and PASP) and other useful material for visitors. At the
moment we have moved 85% in relation to what we expect. The move will finish
during the last days of february but borrowing is already possible in both
