Temporary closure and relocation of Martindale Library in July 2007

A new Library/Learning Resource Centre, which will be shared by the University and Borders College, is being designed for the Scottish Borders Campus. As it involves major re-construction and re-furbishment, the Martindale Library will be moving from the main Campus building to the former dining area of the Halls of Residence at the beginning of July. We anticipate that the transfer of stock, equipment and furniture will take two weeks, from July 2nd to 13th. During this time the Library will be closed. We plan to re-open in our temporary home in the Halls of Residence on July 16th, 2007. We expect to move back into the main Campus during the Christmas vacation of 2008.

We plan to offer the full range of services in the Halls of Residence, but within a limited space. There will be a smaller Study Area, and no Seminar Rooms. Part of the PC Caledonia Suite will be moved to the lounge area of the Halls. Part of the CAD Lab will move to Workshop W2.

Please ensure that before 11.30 a.m. on Friday 29th June (the afternoon of the 29th is a local holiday, and the Campus is closed!) you:
• borrow any stock you require
• make any enquiries you have
• use any equipment you need

During our move:
• you can return stock to the Library Book Return box in the "D" corridor of the main building.
• you can put any Inter-Library Loan request forms in the internal mail addressed to “Inter-Library Loans, Edinburgh Campus Library”.

We apologise for the inconvenience caused by the move! If you have any questions, please contact the Library Manager, Peter Sandison, on 01896-89-2155, or by email (P.E.C.Sandison@hw.ac.uk).
