Now’s your chance to find out: we’re extending the term-time opening hours of the GCW University Library by an extra 6½ hours per week. (This applies to the times when we’re not open 24 hours a day, of course.)
From Monday, 30 January 2012, until the end of the current term:
- The Library will open at 08.00 Monday-Friday (instead of 08.30)
- On Saturdays, we’ll open at 09.00 (instead of 10.00)
- On Sundays we’ll open at 09.00 (instead of 12.00)
- Desk services will also start earlier at the weekends, at 09.15
This takes our total opening hours to 106 hours/week in term time, or 146 hours/week during 24-hour opening. (This compares well with other universities’ library opening hours. Three universities selected at random on the web had term-time opening hours for their main academic library of 135, 108½, and 100 hours per week.)
You can find our new opening hours on the University Portal.
