This map is not very good. It is very straight forward if people get off
Oxford Road station (those coming from the North), they can either just walk
down the road.approx. 15-20 min. or take any bus that goes via the
university (all 40's and more). The library is at the end of Burlington
street(a small road between the old building and the food court with a
'security hut' and barriers at either side) directly off Oxford Road.
However as most people will arrive at Piccadilly station, I would advise
taking a taxi from there. At the entrance of the library you can ask for me
or MELCOM, they will be informed.]
