The Sir Duncan Rice Library is currently undergoing a programme of works to upgrade and replace some of our existing services.
These works are expected to be completed by Friday the 24th of January.
We apologise for any disruption and inconvenience you experience.
Wolters Kluwer will be performing maintenance on Ovid on Sunday, October 7th from 02:00 to 05:00 in the morning and again on Sunday October 14th from 02:00 to 05:00 in the morning. Users may experience login issues for up to one hour during these time periods.
Our apologies for the inconvenience.
We are currently repurposing some areas within The Sir Duncan Rice Library, and while this work is carried out there will be some minimal disturbance to users of the building. Some of the work is expected to run until the end of August. Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience.
In the meantime, if you need a silent space to study why not use the silent study rooms in the southwest corner of Floors 3, 4 and 5? These rooms were recently equipped with power and USB sockets allowing you to work from your laptop in a silent environment.
Please also note that the Taylor Library is open 09:00 – 17:00 over the summer period. Taylor Library’s silent study areas are located in block ‘D’ on levels 1 and 2.
We are happy to announce that The Sir Duncan Rice Library is open for business as usual. Thank you for being so understanding during the closure, and we look forward to seeing you in the Library.
