Key information
- During the move parts of the collection will be temporarily unavailable. We apologise in advance for any inconvenience this may cause and would ask that (if at all possible) users identify and borrow items they may require in advance of the move (30 July).
- There will be plenty of alternative study space and PC availability in the Main Library (which will be open 24/7).
- The Reserve Collection will continue to be available as normal throughout the move.
- Loan periods for General and Short Loan material can be extended by asking staff during July and August, so that anything borrowed during this period will not have to be returned before 1 September.
- The Interlibrary loans service is another means of obtaining material you may require.
