Expansion of self-service facilities across UCL Libraries

15 October 2015

Over the summer, UCL libraries established self-service issue and return facilities in  a series of locations including UCL Institute of Child Health Library, the Joint Library of Ophthalmology, Moorfields Eye Hospital and UCL Institute of Ophthalmology, Royal Free Hospital Medical Library, UCL School of Pharmacy Library and UCL School of Slavonic and East European Studies Library (SSEES).

Expansion of self-service facilities across UCL Libraries

Self-service facilities are now available in the majority of our family of libraries. This is part our ongoing commitment to support extended opening hours across many of our sites.

The facilities also allow for a much faster and more efficient way of borrowing and returning books. Not only does it mean less queuing to be served at the desk, but it also frees up Library staff time from routine transactions so they can answer your queries and provide the front-line help where it is most needed.

Following the successful launch of these services across the majority of UCL libraries over the last two years, we are now committed to making this technology universally available across our entire family of libraries by the start of the 2016/17 academic session.

Please visit our dedicated self-service webpage for news about the ongoing roll-out of self-service across all our libraries.
