Library Forum 16 January – Cancellation January 9, 2009
We are grateful to everyone who has shown interest in the Library Open Forum but at this busy time, and with some of you facing exams, it has become clear that this is not the best time for the Forum to be held so we have decided to cancel the 16th January meeting. We are sorry for any inconvenience this causes.
We have invited those of you who had planned to attend to meet the Director of Library Services informally, and of course we shall answer all questions you have sent us as well as any further questions you may have.
We shall post your questions and our responses on our website www.imperial.ac.uk/library from 19 January.
(If you would still like to submit a question please email Alice Ashley-Smith (a.ashley-smith@imperial.ac.uk))
