New Library opening and other changes at KB
The new Noreen and Kenneth Murray Library will open on Tuesday 31 July.
Throughout the Summer, library staff will provide up-to-date information on changes to library services and study spaces, and will do their utmost to minimise inconvenience to users.
Study spaces:
there will be various restrictions and further details will be provided on a week by week basis.
Open access computers:
there will be various restrictions and further details will be provided on a week by week basis.
Robertson Library:
this will close on Friday 6 July, 5.00pm.
Darwin Library Helpdesk:
this will close on Monday 30 July, 5.00pm, and services will resume in the new library on Tuesday 31 July, 9.00am.
Reserve collections:
access will be maintained to these collections. The Robertson Library reserve collection will be moved to the Darwin Library on Monday 9 July and will remain there until Friday 27 July when it will transfer, along with the Darwin Library reserve collection, to the new library.
Newer book collections (Darwin, JCM, Robertson libraries):
there will be no direct access to these collections from Monday 9 July - Monday 30 July inclusive whilst they are moved to the new library and fully integrated. Please consider borrowing those books that you will need before Friday 6 July - loan periods will have been extended. However, if you require books from these collections during this 3 week period, please contact the Darwin Library staff. We will provide a collection service where this is possible and otherwise we will offer to get items on inter-library loan, at no cost to you.
Journals and the older book collection:
access to this collection (on the Darwin Library lower floor) will be available throughout the Summer, with self-service borrowing by slip from Tuesday 31 July.
uCreate service in the Darwin Library:
this will be reduced in June due to the redecoration of the Swann study area, but will be fully available in July and for most of August, before it transfers to the KB Centre, Floor 1.
