Changes at the University of York Library & IT Support over Christmas

Don't forget your University card if you're visiting the
University of York Library any time from Christmas Eve



This Christmas, the University of York Library will be getting some new toys...

Turnstiles in operation at York from 9am on Christmas Eve

The Brynmor Jones Library at Hull already needs you to use your University card to get in and out of the building - it's a handy way to track how the library is being used throughout the day. At York a similar system has been in operation during night-time hours, and from 9am on 24th December, the University of York will be switching the turnstiles on full time in the Morrell Library. This means that from then on, whenever you visit the Library you’ll need to use your University card to operate the turnstiles. If you forget your card, or you’re not a member of the University, staff at the Reception will help you access the Library.

 

There's more information about the new turnstiles policy at York, and why it's being introduced, at the University of York website.

 

New IT Support model at York from 4th January

 

From the start of term, IT Support at the University of York will be moving to the Library Help Desk in Morrell. This will mean the service can be open for longer hours: 9am-7pm on weekdays, and 10am-6pm at the weekend. There will also be appointment bookings for more complex IT enquiries.

 

More information about the new Library & IT Help Desk is at the University of York website.

Brynmor Jones Library update: silent study space

In response to student feedback on the need for extra silent study space, the Brynmor Jones Library has created extra silent study space in the west side of the Second Floor outside the postgraduate lounge for the period until 23 January. More details on study space in the BJL can be found at http://www2.hull.ac.uk/lli/bjl-redevelopment/space-update.aspx and you can book group learning rooms at http://www2.hull.ac.uk/lli/library-services/work-space.aspx.

The Brynmor Jones Library is open 24/7 until the end of the summer exam period.

If you have any feedback on how you're finding the redeveloped Brynmor Jones library facilities, please feel free to contact library@hyms.ac.uk.

Happy New Year! 24/7 opening and new silent study!

Happy new year!

Both the Morrell library at University of York and the Brynmor Jones Library at University of Hull are open 24/7 for your study needs.
