University of York library refurbishment news

Science books moving to JBM third floor: work starts 13th December

The refurbished third floor of the JB Morrell Library is on schedule to open in January 2011, at which point half of the first floor will be closed. Several science subject collections will be moved to a permanent new home on the third floor:

General Science (R)
Mathematics (S-SF)
Computer Science (SK)
Astronomy (T)
Physics & Electronics (U)
Chemistry (V)
Geology & Biosciences (W-WX)
Biology (X-XZ)
Technology (Z).

Psychology (B) and Medicine & Nursing (Y) will remain on the first floor. In order to ensure that stock moves can be completed during the Christmas vacation, it will be necessary to start in the week beginning Monday 13th December. Library staff will operate a retrieval service when books are in transit.
