Replacement of Lighting in West Smithfield Medical Library
Work to replace the lights on the ground floor and gallery in the West Smithfield Medical Library, St Bartholomew’s Hospital, will start from week beginning Monday 8th December 2008. The work will take 6-8 weeks and it is currently expected to be completed around the end of January.
The project will involve rewiring and the replacement of all light fittings, so there will be periods of noise, disruption and reduced access to parts of the library. There may also be short-notice closures in January when the 3 large central light fittings are taken down. Library staff will do their best to minimise inconvenience to those using that library during this period and will advertise any necessary closures as soon as these are known.
The project is being undertaken under the aegis of Barts and the London NHS Trust, who are responsible for the West Smithfield Library building. The current lighting system in the library has been in place for many years and is now at the end of its useful life. The new lighting provision will provide a better work and study environment for all as well as improving energy efficiency.

Online access to complete Mary Ann Liebert e-journals collection
The Library has arranged online access to the complete collection on Mary Ann Liebert e-journals for the remainder of 2008, in addition to ongoing subscriptions to the Liebert titles Tissue Engineering (as of 2008 published in three parts) and AIDS Research and Human Retroviruses. This collection covers subject areas such as biotechnology, biomedical research/life sciences, clinical medicine and surgery, alternative and complementary medicine, law, philanthropy, environmental science and sustainability. Please note that these titles are available off-campus via the University's proxy server, and therefore must be accessed via the Library's A-Z list of e-journals off-campus in order for proxying to work.

Library system upgrade - Wednesday July 16th
The library system will be upgraded on Wednesday July 16th, and this will affect access both to the catalogue and to some lending services. We will do our utmost to resume normal service as quickly as possible, but you should assume unexpected breaks in service on this and the following day.
This upgrade gives us an opportunity to tidy up the catalogue and introduce a number of changes. These include:
(1) A clearer, less cluttered Search Page. All extraneous information has been moved to linked pages.
(2) Location and browse links added to single record location/availability displays (NB for Main Library only for the time being). Location will open library floor plan pop-ups which should aid users in locating material; while if all copies are on loan browse will display a shelflist of material at the same location as alternatives should all copies of a title be out on loan.
(3) "Try Also" MetaLib and SFX searches: this will carry over your search to MetaLib [Quick]Search or the SFX a/z ejournal titles list.
We apologize for any inconvenience the upgrade process may cause and will endeavour to keep downtime to a minimum.
