Outside the David Hume Tower<\/p>\n

A major Estates project means that we must move the New College Library collections and services.<\/p>\n

What this means for you<\/strong>
\n\u2022 New College Library (NCL) closed at 5.00 pm on Friday 20st December 2019. It will re-open at David Hume Tower (DHT) in George Square on 13th January 2020, providing access to General Collections.
\n\u2022 Archive material and some Special Collections (selected in consultation with the School of Divinity) will be available at the Centre for Research Collections at the Main Library in George Square. Remaining Special Collections will be unavailable until the Library returns to New College in Summer 2021.
\n\u2022 The School of Divinity are planning to make the NCL Reserve Collection available in the Semple\u2019s Close Wing of New College from 13th January 2020.<\/p>\n

General Collections<\/strong>
\n\u2022 New College Library General Collections includes books on course reading lists as well as journals, which are currently on open access.
\n\u2022 General Collections will be fully available at New College Library at DHT by the end of January.
\n\u2022 All current New College Library services will be available and there will be no changes to current opening hours.
\n\u2022 Students will have access to equivalent study space at DHT, as well as access to study space in the Rainy Hall.<\/p>\n

Any questions or concerns about New College Library services at DHT should be directed to Karen Bonthron, Help Services Lead for New College Library, Karen.Bonthron@ed.ac.uk<\/p>\n

Special<\/strong> Collections<\/strong>
\n\u2022 New College Library Special Collections include archives, manuscripts, historic printed books and objects, which are all kept in closed access areas.
\n\u2022 New College Library Special Collections transferred to the Centre for Research Collections (CRC) will benefit from CRC services including enquiry support, copying and digitisation. Teaching rooms and curatorial support are available at the CRC to support seminars and lectures using New College Library Special Collections.
\n\u2022 New College Special Collections which are not available at the CRC will be moved into storage off site. They will not be accessible until the library collections return to New College Library in summer 2021.<\/p>\n
