Happy New Academic Year!
I hope summer has been a good one and that you're ready to start, or continue with your studies here at Birkbeck.
Here are some library things to help you get to grips with your studies in Science, whether you're a new or returning student.
Orientation Day
Ideal for new students. The Library features as part of Orientation Day this coming Saturday 30th September, with talks, an information stand and library tours and I'll be around so do come and talk to us.
Library tours and workshops
Don't forget about the Library tours and workshops happening, they can be a really good way to get an idea of how you can make best use of the library and the resources.
Using the library
This section of the website gives you all the useful information about opening hours, how many items you can borrow,
Subject guides
These guides aim to bring together the most relevant resources for your subject area.
You can make an appointment with me, through your subject guide, about any aspect of making the best use of the Library.
Welcome to Birkbeck Library...
These things are for certain, so be in no doubt,
That we are open 7 days a week,
Come and visit here or online, for the information you seek.
Your student ID is a wonderful thing,
It’ll get you in the library, no alarm will ring,
Be it a journal article, film or a book you’re looking for,
There is space to study individually or as a group,
School of Science students, remember you have me,
To help you use the library, whatever your topic might be,
Grab your subject bookmark for shelfmarks to make a good start,
...To help you make sense of all the resources there are,
Use all of these things and you’re bound to go far.
When you’ve visited us once, hopefully you’ll be a fan,
For we want to help you achieve and succeed,
