Welcome (back)

A warm welcome to new students studying here at Birkbeck, and a welcome back to returning students.

For new students we're offering introductory tours of the library until Saturday 21st October. These will run at 5.30pm from Monday - Friday, and at 1.15pm on Saturdays. There's no need to book, just come along to the date and time that suits you. Tours will last 20 minutes, giving you time to make it to lectures by 6pm.

We've been busy over the summer, and the 4th floor of the library now provides an additional 60 seats for those seeking a silent study environment (see below). 

For those of you who prefer to work in groups, or with some background noise, our popular group study room remains available on the 1st floor of the library. 

We look forward to answering any library-related questions you may have, and can be contacted via phone, online form, and Chat - as well as face-to-face. We're now staffed throughout our term time opening hours. 

Welcome (back)

Welcome to all students studying within the Law School this academic year!

If you're a new student then either I'll have already been to your induction event to say hello, or will meet you soon. During October we're running tours of the library at 5.30pm, Monday-Friday, so if you would like to find out more about using the library then please come along to one of these. There's no need to book, just meet at the library entrance on the ground floor of the main Malet Street building.

If you're a returning student then I hope that you got the opportunity to do some pre-module reading over the summer. We've moved the books around over the summer, so if you go to where the law books used to be, you'll find that they're no longer there! Just follow the sequence down a few rows and you'll find what you're looking for, still on the first floor.

Welcome (back) to the Library

A warm welcome to all new Law students. Whether you're studying a short course or embarking on your PhD I look forward to meeting you in the coming weeks.
Also, welcome back to returning students, I hope that you managed to recharge your batteries over the summer and are ready to study again.

For new students we're running a series of introductory sessions to the Library, details available at: http://www.bbk.ac.uk/lib/about/userinfo

In addition, later in the term staff will be holding workshops on a selection of our electronic databases. Although none of these is specifically legal in focus, you may find something of interest amongst those on offer. For further details and to book, please see: http://www.bbk.ac.uk/lib/news/satsessions

Welcome (back) to Birkbeck!

Today sees the start of the new academic year, so I'd like to take the opportunity to welcome all new law students and also those who are returning.
If you are new, the likelihood is that I'll be meeting you at some point over the next few weeks. In addition to the sessions that I run, you may also like to attend one of our general library tours. Information on our induction programme can be found at:

Here's to a successful 2008/09.
Best wishes

Welcome!

The aim of this blog is to keep Birkbeck law students and staff up-to-date with developments in the library, (both physical and virtual). I'm also hoping to highlight useful links and developments from the world of law more generally. I'm new to this, so please bear with me if I make mistakes.
