Accessing UCL and IOE libraries for UCL and IOE students https://blogs.ucl.ac.uk/library-biosci/2015/01/02/accessing-ucl-and-ioe-libraries-for-ucl-and-ioe-students/ https://blogs.ucl.ac.uk/library-biosci/2015/01/02/accessing-ucl-and-ioe-libraries-for-ucl-and-ioe-students/#respond Fri, 02 Jan 2015 14:53:35 +0000 http://blogs.ucl.ac.uk/library-biosci/?p=2965 IoE Library

The exciting news that the Institute of Education (IOE) became part of UCL in December, means that UCL and IOE students may use library services of both institutions.

To visit IOE’s Newsam Library and Archives

UCL students will need to present their UCL ID card at IOE Library and register. As announced in our November news bulletin, electronic resources previously provided by IOE are now available through our library catalogue and search tool, Explore.

To visit UCL Libraries

IOE students will first need to collect their UCL ID card.  The card has a barcode on the back that is connected to a UCL Library account. See information and FAQs for IOE students. Students will also need  a UCL computer username and password to access electronic resources including online journals and databases.  (Search Explore for the resource required and click the “view online” or SFX links where available.  For access to material behind subscription, enter your UCL username and password when prompted.) Please contact the UCL ISD helpdesk with queries about UCL userids.  New UCL library members may find our  Getting Started, Subject Guides and Training pages useful.

Please don’t hesitate to email library@ucl.ac.uk with any library related queries.

I hope that everyone finds this change beneficial and I’m looking forward to getting to know IOE library and colleagues myself!

Science Library Windows Replacement Project https://blogs.ucl.ac.uk/library-biosci/2014/07/25/science-library-window-replacement-project/ https://blogs.ucl.ac.uk/library-biosci/2014/07/25/science-library-window-replacement-project/#respond Fri, 25 Jul 2014 12:45:50 +0000 http://blogs.ucl.ac.uk/library-biosci/?p=2838

This summer sees a major project to replace all the windows on the Darwin Walk and Malet Place elevations of the Science Library with high energy rating double glazed windows. 

Unfortunately, each room having a window replaced in it will be considered a building site and will need to be closed for several days.  This includes staff offices, service desks and various reading rooms.

We will do our best to keep disruption to a minimum and are aiming to offer a book fetching service for inaccessible material.  If you’re planning a trip for a particular title, please consider contacting us in advance to check that it’s available.

The schedule for closing spaces has yet to be confirmed, but work in the reading rooms for Psychology & Biological Sciences and Medical Sciences, is expected to take place in early August.  Information will be published on our Science Library Windows Replacement Project  news page, so please look there for updates.

Please accept our apologies for the disruption.  If anyone has any questions or concerns please don’t hesitate to contact me.

Friday 11th of July

Owing to our annual library staff conference, on Friday 11 July a number of our libraries will be closed or operating a reduced service. Details of  opening hours and closures on 11th July.
