Library Chat Quiz
To encourage usage and promote our library online enquiry service we shall be running a week long quiz each day from 14th May to 18th May 2012.
A question will appear each day which requires an answer via our online chat facility.
Upon submission of the answer to that question via our online chat service you will be entered into a draw where you will have the chance of winning a £10 Amazon voucher (one per day) or a £50 Amazon voucher if you answer all five questions throughout the week.
Enter the quiz on the library website at http://library.bcu.ac.uk/chatquiz.htm
Good luck!

Move of Speech and Language Therapy, Radiography & Rehabilitation Books and Journals to City South Campus
Books and Journals to support SALT,
Radiography and Rehabilitation Courses will be moved from City North to
the Mary Seacole Library at City South during the week beginning 1st
August. The move should be completed by August 5th and books available
for loan ahead of the School moves later in August.
Books currently on loan can be returned at either Kenrick or Mary
Seacole (or any Birmingham City University Library) and they will be
transferred to the correct site.
Print journals for these Schools will be moved to Mary Seacole Library
but please note that journals supporting Psychology will remain at
Kenrick.
It will inevitably take a little time to bed such a large quantity of
stock down in the Seacole Library, and we apologise for any
inconvenience this may cause to staff and students during the
transferral period. We will be monitoring stock over the coming year to
identify use, and any material inadvertently left at Kenrick will be
available for inter-site loan if required and transferred where
appropriate.
If you have any questions, please contact Peter Ebrey:
