AS IN PREVIOUS YEARS, Edinburgh University Main Library (including the Special Collections Department) will be closed for the whole week beginning Monday 10 August, to allow essential maintenance work to be carried out on the ventilation system. We apologise for any inconvenience that this closure may cause. Other sections of the University Library will be open as usual during that week, and may be used by non-members of the University. They are welcome to register as External Users on application at the Service Desk of any major site. The Main Library will re-open for normal services on Monday 17 August. For further information, please see the Library's Web site http://www.lib.ed.ac.uk/ especially the announcement at http://www.lib.ed.ac.uk/intro/closure.htm Email may be sent to individual members of Library staff as listed on the Web site, or addressed simply to [log in to unmask] from which they will be re-routed when the Main Library reopens.
