Shhh, no talking in the library!

The Library has received a number of requests from students for a quiet area and accordingly has designated Group Study Rooms 4 and 5 on the second floor as quiet study areas.

These rooms have been taken off the self-booking sheets for a period of six weeks so that we can monitor usage and establish whether there is an ongoing need. Let us know what you think by leaving a comment.

It was forty years ago today…

Beatles Revolver
Originally uploaded by poc67.

…well actually it was forty years tomorrow that The Beatles released what is widely regarded as their finest album: Revolver. Ray Andrews has added to the fortieth celebrations by releasing Abracadabra!—a free e-book that tells the story of the Beatles 1966 album.

If you like that e-book have you browsed the library's collection of electronic books? ebrary alone contains 26,000 books covering most subjects with links direct from the library catalogue. Login and begin storing your favourite e-books on your own bookshelf today.

Food in the Library?

You can now bring food and drink into the Library to enjoy in places where there are areas of café tables and chairs. Please be considerate towards other Library users.

As the Library is now next to a construction site, there could be some disruption in the shape of noise and dust over the next few months.

In the meantime, watch progress from a safe distance by viewing our demolition photo set over at Flickr; remember to check back often as we add new pics. How do you like our new perimeter fence?
