Due to the great success we had last semester with keeping the library open until midnight, and the fact that we might well face a student revolt if we didn’t, we will be continuing with the Midnight openings at the Biological Sciences Library for 2nd semester 2008. So feel free to come in and make use of the libraries facilities until the wee hours.

A quick note, you cannot book a group room after 9:00pm so if a room is free simply wander in and grab it.

In the first few weeks of the semester, the Biological Sciences Library will be holding training sessions to help with your study. These sessions will be held in eZone 2 (Level 2) of the Library and bookings are not required. The sessions are as follows -

More Effective Internet Searching - August 1 (Fri) 1-2pm Click here for class content

If you are scratching your head about the new library home page and are not sure how to find things in the library catalogue then we have designed a quick tutorial to help out. It should only take a couple of minutes and is designed to give a very brief overview of a couple of its features.

If this doesn’t relieve the confusion then feel free to ask staff at the information desk, email or call us or use the new ask a librarian service featured on the new home page.
