Library Life Blog: Monday 11th November- Sunday 17th November

Library Life is our weekly blog to let you know what will be going on around the library next week to help you plan your days and be aware of what is on.



PRE-EXAM MODE: From Monday 11th November, 26 York Street goes into Pre-Exam Mode - see email from the Dean to all students on Friday 1st November.  
26 York Street is in Pre-Examination Mode, Monday 11th November– Sunday 24th November 2019
  • No tours in the building after 3pm, unless approved by the College’s Senior Management Team.
  • Catering on the concourses on Levels -1, 3 and 4 will be minimised as much as possible.
  • Desks around the atria on Levels 3 and 4 will not be used for serving refreshments


#FairSpaceForAll - Bookmarks available in 26 York St Library Spaces


See our full explainer blog post on #FSFA here.

How do they work? 
Grab a bookmark when you come into the library or when you find your seat. When you want to leave your seat, fill in the date and the time you leave, and be back with 45 minutes!


If you are leaving your seat for more than 45 minutes, take your belongings with you or they might get packed up and moved to the concourse area on that floor - i.e. opposite the main lifts.


When can items be moved? Items can be moved when you have not followed the policy of noting the date and time you have left your desk, or if you are gone longer than 45 minutes, or if you put the wrong time on your bookmark, or if you don't use a bookmark at all.


When are items cleared from desks? This can happen at any time, in any area of the library to any desk not adhering to the policy. Sometimes only one desk might be cleared, sometimes all desks might be cleared so the best advice is to adhere to the policy!


Ask at the Library Information Point in 26 York Street for more information.
