Move back to South Block

* MOVE TO SENATE HOUSE SOUTH BLOCK DELAYED *AGAIN* Latest news
Now expected to begin 19th August.

At its meeting on 23 June, the Senate House Project Board reluctantly took the decision to delay the start of the moves back into the South Block of Senate House. This is because the extensive programme of works to refurbish the building have not yet been fully completed. The moves, which had been scheduled for July 2009, are now expected to begin on 19th August.
The situation is regrettable and the Board is aware of the disruption and frustration it will cause staff, students and colleagues from other universities. However, after a thorough investigation of all the available options, it was decided that a delay in the moves was the best course of action.
The Library will therefore now remain OPEN until 6.00 pm on Friday 14th August, but it will probably be closed until Monday 21st September. Please keep watching this space for further announcements or consult the webpage http://icls.sas.ac.uk/library/Current.htm

New e-journal

The Library is pleased to announce that the journal Annali online di Ferrara is now available. http://eprints.unife.it/annali/lettere/index.html

The situation is regrettable and the Board is aware of the disruption and frustration it will cause staff, students and colleagues from other universities. However, after a thorough investigation of all the available options, it was decided that a delay in the moves was the best course of action.
