The building industry conspires against the University every January by closing down for a major part of the month for a well earned rest. This project will actually speed up over the break with the enormous task of integrating the collections scheduled for the period that the builder is absent. Progress on the link building continues to promise occupation for 8 December as planned. The joinery installation and final painting jobs make way for the carpet to be laid. When the shelving arrives and is erected we will know we have a library.
Staff are on standby to install computers as soon as the area is declared secure.
The Library entrance will be via the main doors of the existing Duhig Building and through the link to the collections once the link is open. The information service and the loan services will operate in the link. Later in the month when the Bryan Centre staff relocate to the Richards Building, the remaining SSAH library staff will move to this vacated area of the Steele Building. Although material will always be retrievable from the collections, library patrons will at times have limited access. Please make sure that you contact library staff about your requirements so that material can be located for you.
