Summer book moves and alterations in the Library

The ILS book move project is now under way.  The book move began on 20 June and is expected to end on 29 July 2016.


This is a major project to increase the amount of shelf space available for the book collections and to improve the flow and navigation of the collection for all our users.  Work to tackle issues with heating in Fountains will also take place during the project.

The book move will result in some disruption which we will minimise as much as possible:

• Library users will not have access to the books on Levels 1 and 2 during the project.

• From 20 June until 28 June 2016, books in the 800s will not be available at all.  All other books in the collection will be available on request through our book collection service.

• From 29 June, books in the 800s along with the rest of the collection will be available through our book collection service until 29 July 2016.  Books can be requested at the Service Desk or by emailing ils@yorksj.ac.uk.  We aim to supply all requested books within 48 hours of the request.

• Study space on Levels 1 and 2 will be limited to IT rooms and the area in De Grey next to the bridge for the duration of the project. 

For further help and information please contact ils@yorksj.ac.uk.

Thank you for your patience during this project.
