Extended opening hours in the Boole Library

From Monday, April 14th 2008, there will be extended opening hours in the Library. The Quadrangle Reading Room on the Q (ground) floor will now be open after the library building closes (up to 1.45am). This is a study area only and there will be no access to books, photocopying or PCs. The room is self-contained with its own toilets and swipe access door. There are 88 reader spaces in the room and these will be allocated on a first come first serve basis. The room will be monitored by an invigilator who will have hotline access to Campus security. The procedure for use of this room is that room will have to be vacated and all personal items removed when the Library closes. All library material will be removed from the room and entrances to the main library will be locked. Students can then re-enter through the external swipe access door. For security reasons all users of this room must also sign in with the invigilator.

Library Survey

The Library is currently running a rigorously tested web-based survey called LibQUAL.
It will give you the chance to tell us what you think about our services, and where the Library services need improvement. As a staff member or student, your feedback is very important.
The library is running the survey over the next 3 weeks. Please take 10 minutes to complete it. There are prizes which have been generously sponsored by suppliers.You can take the survey at our Library website.
