UoY Library refurbishment completed!

The University of York Library buildings have now been fully refurbished, bringing to an end a three year project. A few internal projects are ongoing to upgrade facilities for Library users:

• The new book return terminals are scheduled to come into operation on Monday 19th March, linked to an automated book sorter to ensure that items are returned to the upper floors more quickly.
• During the Easter vacation, the Key Texts collection will be moved into the glass-walled room next to the Lending Services desk. Two self-service machines, two library catalogue terminals and at least one photocopier will be provided.
• Furniture for the Morrell Lounge (opposite the Lending Services desk) will be installed soon.
• During the Summer vacation, the Music and Audiovisual collections will be moved from the JB Morrell Library into dedicated space on the ground floor of the Harry Fairhurst building, along with equipment for viewing and listening.

We hope you enjoy using the facilities and study space inside your refurbished Library buildings!

HYMS Library webpages - updated and improved!

We have made some updates to our HYMS Library webpages to make them even more comprehensive. If you go to http://libguides.hull.ac.uk/medicine you'll see that we now have a new tab called EBDM & Research aimed at supporting those interested in conducting more advanced searches.

We have also added extra resources to some of our other tabs. On the Find Books tab we have added links to national library catalogues, and on the Find Articles & More tab there are now links to resources that will help you search for theses, links to image and video resources and information about using hospital archive resources.

As always, we would welcome any feedback about these changes or the webpages generally; you can get in touch with us at library@hyms.ac.uk.

Work being carried out on HYMS Library webpages

We will be doing some work on the HYMS Library webpages over the next 24 hours so please be aware that you may see some changes occurring, such as re-ordering of tabs. We will keep you updated with further news about the changes soon.

Apologies for any disruption you may encounter.
