I’m pleased to announce that 278 staff have logged into BRIAN in the first three days of it going live.
RDU have offered support to staff for uploading photos and edited chapters. We have additional support available in the office now and so please do send through your information whilst this support is available. It will also improve your external profile quickly. All requests should go to BRIAN@bournemouth.ac.uk
Yesterday, I made available a BU specific BRIAN – Quick Start Guide v1, BRIAN – Trouble-shooting Guide for Search Settings and BU Staff External Web Pages. A read through of these should answer the majority of your questions but if they don’t then please contact BRIAN@bournemouth.ac.uk. Short videos on some of the more frequent functions of BRIAN will soon be available.
