A new winter issue of our library newsletter is now available to read.

Please note that the UCL Senate House Hub (and Senate House generally) will be closed from 13.45 onwards today 25th November 2015. This is because of the annual Foundation Day Ceremony taking place this afternoon. Open as usual tomorrow.

We are now providing alumni access to ejournals from the following providers: JSTOR, Sage and Project MUSE.

This year the library has created a series of short films introducing print and online resources available from UCL Library Services. Each film in the series lasts around 60 seconds and they cover all the basics from Explore to What is a database. They are available via the Library website or direct from our Library Youtube channel .

As part of the refurbishments and furniture upgrades we will be closing the Classics Reading Room (Room 121 in the Main Library) for the duration of one week, 14th-18th September. This is so we can lay flooring in the gaps that were generated by the removal of old furniture and book cases. As the works will involve screeding of the floor, infilling flooring and some joining and welding the reading rooms will be inaccessible.

We apologise for any inconvenience – please note a fetching service will operate.

Please note – on Monday 24th and Tuesday 25th August some Main Library reading rooms will be having study tables replaced with new ones and this includes one of the Classics reading rooms. This means the room will be closed on the Monday and Tuesday to allow the tables to be replaced and for shelving to be removed.

This is expected to take the full 2 days, although rooms will re-open sooner if work is complete.

A book fetching service will be operating.

Apoligies for any inconvenience.

Institute of Archaeology Library will be closed on next Tuesday, 21st of July due to the annual UCL Library Services Staff Conference.

Sorry for any inconveniences.

And we have packed lots of news on our Special Collections, in print and online, spanning from the Neolithic Age in the Orkneys to Jewish collections on show in London and in Barcelona, with a special feature about some beautiful and humorous digital exhibitions created by UCL BASc students as part of their course. We also feature the latest exhibition from our Queen Square Library and a new training facility in our Joint Library of Ophthalmology.
