Health Sciences Library is now open!

The newly refurbished Health Sciences Library (RHH) reopened its doors on the 5th November and it's already proving a popular service among staff and students. The Library holds stock covering every area taught in our Faculty and caters for every department; so if you're a student in Dentistry, Human Communication Sciences, Medicine, Nursing and Midwifery, Orthoptics or ScHARR, this is the Library for you! 

We have collaborative learning spaces and silent study facilities, with lots of PC's and desk spaces. We also have bookable group study rooms. There's friendly and knowledge staff on hand to answer any enquiries you might have and there's a new cafe just outside the Library for those all important study breaks. 

So come and pay us a visit.

Refurbishment 2012 - Update

Great news! The date for the reopening of the Health Sciences Library has now been set. The Library will reopen on Monday 5th November at 10am. 

In order to move all the books back and complete the final finishing touches, all services at the site will end on Tuesday 30th October 5pm and will be unavailable until the following Monday. If there are any books that you need during that time please make a reservation and we will try and process everything as soon as we can.

Once again thank you for all your patience during this time. We know it'll be worth it once the new Library is unveiled. But for now here are a couple of photos for a sneak peak....

Library Refurb

As part of the Faculty of Medicine, Dentistry and Health's Medical School redevelopment, the Health Sciences Library (HSL) at RHH is being refurbished, and the work is now well under way.  The journal archives and non-core reading materials have been relocated to Western Bank Library and the study space area blocked off. The main entrance and service point however are still in use and will continue to be throughout the refurbishment period (April-September), along with 5,000 core titles that will be still be immediately accessible for customers.

To keep up-to-date with all the latest developments you can follow the Faculty's blog or hear the latest news via their twitter account, @SheffUniMDH. There's also lots of information on the Library webpages including details on where to go for alternative study space and IT facilities.

It's a really exciting time for the Library and the Faculty and we're working hard to make sure we minimize the disruption during this period. We'll see you in the new HSL this September!
