The library catalogue has been updated to reflect the changes.  Any queries please email shortloan@hull.ac.uk

·         As soon as dates have been confirmed a schedule of book moves relating to the Reading Room and third and fourth floors will be issued.  At the same time the sequence of moves from floors five, six and seven will be confirmed

·         The location of books in the redeveloped Library can be found on the Redevelopment web site at http://www2.hull.ac.uk/lli/bjl-redevelopment/keeping-in-touch/finallocations.aspx
