BRING BACK YOUR LIBRARY BOOKS, JOURNALS, DVD's

On the 10th June, all items need to be returned to the library. This is to allow for the smooth migration of information from the current Library Management System (LMS) to the brand spanking all singing all dancing New Library Management System. 

As on Monday 13th June the library will be changing the management system- essentially the system that makes the library work. It's the system that has a record of everyone who borrows from the library as well as the items within the library. 

This means that from 13th- 17th June, the library will not be lending items. This will give the library team a week to migrate the information to the new system and learn how to use it. 

After long consideration we have decided to change the system, having been using the original system for over 15 years. With the new system we should have more control and flexibility over how we can use it. For example library staff will be able to see, when requested what items students have borrowed- currently this is not a facility we have on offer. 

We are also hoping that the new system will also allow us to send you a curtsey e-mail 2 days prior to your loan items going over-due, thereby allowing you to avoid Library fines for overdue books. Fingers crossed that this is possible.

We will be open again as usual on the 20th June for normal service, however during the week of the 13th - 17th the Library will be open for Reference only, with limited assistance from Library Staff available. 

The Library team are grateful for your patience and understanding during this time.
