Keep up-to-date with news from the Birmingham Library
For those of you who have already been students here, you’ll notice a slight change to the library layout in September. As you come into the library you’ll see a new bank of shelving straight ahead of you. These shelves will house textbooks from Contract to Competition. The shelving that has now been freed-up will house our ever expanding journals and law reports collection.
Also new for September, BVC students will have their own set of Halsbury’s Laws and Statutes in the BVC Resources Room.
Term ends on Friday 12 June.
From Monday 15 June to Friday 28 August our opening hours will be as follows:
For those of you leaving the College of Law we wish you all the best with your future endeavours. For those of returning, enjoy your break. We hope to see you again in the autumn.
If you have any outstanding library fines, please can you ensure that you’ve paid them before your last exam. If you are not sure whether you have any fines simply contact us in person, by telephone or email and we’ll let you know.
Please be aware that exam results could be withheld until outstanding debts are paid.
Below is a link to the list of titles bought by the library this month. They are all available for loan from today.
Our weekend opening hours are as follows:
The purpose of this blog is not to nag but to provide information, however; now that we are entering the exams/revision period please be reminded that the library is for silent study. Already a number of students have complained that they are unable to concentrate because of the noise.
It is important that you regulate yourselves concerning noise levels as from now on we will be asking any offending students to leave the library.
Particularly noisy times are 9 – 9:30am, 12 – 1:30pm and around 3:30pm. We appreciate you are moving between classes, however it shouldn’t be an excuse to disturb other library patrons.
For those of you being disturbed by noise, if you do not feel comfortable complaining in person you may want to drop me an email instead to natasha.skeen@lawcol.co.uk and I’ll do my best to address the matter.
For the next three weekends our opening hours will be as follows:
We will be closed on Monday 25 May for the Spring Bank Holiday.
We are still experiencing problems with renewals and reservations via Elite, so until further notice please can you continue to renew/reserve items either via telephone, email or in person. You will find our contact details on the date labels inside your library books.
All of the spare books have now been claimed.
Take a look at the April edition of Counsel to read an article written by one of our current BVC students – Will Hotham. As the result of an internship, Will provides a first-hand account of the criminal justice system in Thailand.
Where does he find the time?
Better late than never – April’s new books list
Please remember if you can’t find what your looking for on our shelves, we’re happy to receive your suggestions for new titles.
Our opening hours this weekend are as follows:
This Saturday is an Open University Study Day therefore you may find that there are more students and a little more noise than usual. They will be completing some print based exercises in the library, so we apologise in advance for any inconvenience.
Watch this space for extended weekend opening hours during the exams period.
