A message from Ian Snowley, Director of Library & Learning Resources at the University of Lincoln.
What?
Yes, you read that right! I’m pleased to announce that the GCW University Library will be staying open 24 hours a day, on weekdays, for two weeks next month.
When?
The building will stay open day & night over the following periods:
- Monday 7th December 08.30 - Friday 11th December 22.00
- Monday 14th December 08.30 - Friday 18th December 22.00
(Normal opening hours will apply at weekends.)
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. On Monday 21st December we’ll resume our usual hours: all of our opening hours are posted on the University Portal.
Why?
We’re doing this because we want to give students the widest possible access to vital library materials and learning resources at this important time of the academic year. These two weeks are the busiest in semester ‘A’; most students will have assessment work to complete and hand in.
We ran a similar period of 24-hour opening last year.
How?
How will I get in to the GCW building during round-the-clock opening?
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.
Who?
Who can I ask to find out more about 24-hour opening?
Please ask at the help desk in the GCW University Library, telephone us on (01522) 88 6222, or contact your Academic Subject Librarian.
, and from Monday 21st December we’ll resume our usual hours.)
Please note a change to our Christmas vacation hours next week:
