Health care books are being transferred

Thu, 07 Mar 2013 07:28:50 GMT

Health care books are being transferred in Main Library

The books in the Scirpta Hall will be moved to the Stage. Their location will be changing too: after the transfer the location of the books is 61–618. The old location 59–59.8 will be out of service.

Because the transfer can´t be done in one day the books are in many places at the same time. The staff is happy to help you if you can´t find the books you are looking for.

Short loans are embedded in the course book collection

Short loans are embedded in the course book collection

Short loans´ location has changed in the Main Library. They are now among the course books, not in their own unity. For example short loan “Principles of Marketing” is in the same place where the actual course book is. Short loans are easy to recognize: there is red tape and a sign “Ref K” in the spine of the book.

We are updating the signposts of the shelves. If you can´t find the book you are looking for you can always ask help from the library staff.
