Library & LR news

 A message from Ian Snowley, Director of Library & Learning Resources at the University of Lincoln. 

I’m pleased to announce that there’s going to be a return to 24-hour weekday opening at the GCW University Library (Brayford Pool Campus), for four weeks in March and April.

 The GCW building will stay open around the clock over the following periods: 

• Monday 15th March 08.30 - Friday 19th March 22.00
• Monday 22nd March 08.30 - Friday 26th March 22.00

(***Easter weeks – vacation opening hours t.b.c.***) 

• Monday 12th April 08.30 - Friday 16th April 22.00
• Monday 19th April 08.30 - Friday 23rd April 22.00

(Normal opening hours will apply at weekends.) 

During these periods access to computing facilities, printed and electronic reference materials, and library self-service facilities (borrowing, renewal, and return of books) will be possible throughout the day & night. Staffed library services will be available during normal service times. 

We run these periods of 24-hour opening because we want to provide you with the widest possible access to vital library materials and learning resources at the busiest times of the academic year, when most students will have assessment work to complete and hand in. 

You’ll need to remember to bring your University ID card to get into and out of the building. To help ensure your personal safety, we will not allow access to the library without a University ID card outside staffed service times. 

For more information about 24-hour opening, please ask at the help desk in the GCW University Library, or telephone us on (01522) 88 6222.
