Returning students

If you've been keeping up with the news on Project Fountains, or have been in to the Learning Centre over the summer you'll know that there are major changes to the layout of each floor and the bookstock. In particular, the shelving has been rearranged so the books relating to your subject may be in a different location to previously. Also there have been changes to the Self Service arrangements. You can now issue and return items 24/7 using the self-issue and return machines. Also the pick up for holds is now self-service and adjacent to the issue/return machines, to the left of the main entrance. There is information on how to collect and issue your holds. The ground floor will be accessible 24 hours a day, and features open-access PCs, print journals and a collection of quick-access key texts. You will also be able to speak to staff at the Question Point, during staffed hours, as well as get help from the roving staff on the other floors.
We welcome you to the newly refurbished Fountains Learning Centre and encourage your feedback, either electronically via Twitter (@YSJLibrary) or Facebook (Friends of Fountains). Alternatively there is a comments wall on the first floor where you can write up any feedback.

Library redecoration - access to collection

From Monday 11 July 2011, sections of the first and second floors of the Fountains Building will be redecorated as part of the ongoing Fountains Project. This may lead to some books being inaccessible for a short period while the redecoration takes place. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause. As the sections are redecorated, we will tweet which sections of the collection are unavailable on the library twitter account http://twitter.com/ysjlibrary, a feed for which is available on the library homepage.

If a book you wish to borrow is in the affected section, please feel free to place a hold on it and we will collect it for you asap.
