Do you have a question about the library service you receive ?

Are there issues around our collections or study spaces you think need addressing?

The Library Forum (Council Room, 170 Queens Gate, Friday 16 January 2009 10.00 – 12.00)

I’d like to alert you to the first meeting of the new Library Forum – and hope that you might be able to attend?

The new library forum is a user focused event – and is your chance to raise the issues and concerns you have about the library. You can submit a question in advance or we’ll be more than happy to take your question on the day.

Needless to say if you can’t make it to South Kensington we still want to hear from you – the answers to all submitted questions will be posted on the library website with a full report of the meeting.

Professor Mary Ritter (Pro-Rector for Postgraduate and International Affairs) will chair the forum. At this first meeting the Senior Library Management team will also be presenting our plans and aspirations for library space across all campuses, as well as some initial results from the recent study space survey in the Central Library.

If you are able to attend please let us know in advance by emailing Alice Ashley-Smith (a.ashley-smith@imperial.ac.uk) . Tea, coffee and biscuits will be available. Alice will be able to advise on any practical issues for the meeting, e.g. directions or access arrangements.

If you are unable to attend but would like to submit a question again please email Alice at a.ashley-smith@imperial.ac.uk

Christmas is just around the corner, and to celebrate the Humanitites Info blog is going festive.
You will notice a sprinkling of snow taking over the blog for the month of December, so  this is a pre-warning that this is not some nasty bug doing strange things to your system!
Our best wishes for the festive season.
