Introducing ‘Everyware’
Introducing ‘Everyware’
Senate House Library’s computing facilities are moving to a mobile computing device service, increasing the number of computers available in the Library.
Readers will be able to borrow:
• iPads
• Apple MacBook Airs
• Apple MacBook Pros
• Windows laptops
A small number of the current desktop PCs will still be available for catalogue use and individual disability access.
The aim of our new service and enhanced wireless capacity is to allow more flexible computer usage throughout the Library via technologies that complement the very special atmosphere of our reading rooms.

Senate House Library moves - Stage 1
Senate House Library moves - Stage 1
The first stage of the library moves began on May 11, 2011. This is part of a four month programme which will culminate in the re-opening of the newly refurbished library in its entirety on Floors 4-7 of Senate House in time for the new academic session. When the moves are completed, the temporary library facilities in the Small Hall (where the Commonwealth Studies collection is currently held) and the North Block areas will be discontinued.
The first stage of the moves involves moving certain categories of low-use material from the Library’s closed access stacks in the Tower/Basement areas to our offsite storage Depository in Egham, Surrey. This will take approximately 4 weeks to complete. While the items are in transit, they will be temporarily unavailable. Normally, this will only be for between 24-48 hours, so please check with library staff if your item falls into one of the categories listed below.
These moves will ensure that we can retain more frequently used items and specialist collections on site in central London.
Access to the collections being sent to Egham is still readily available through the stack fetching service and items requested are normally available 24 hours after the request is lodged.
Material being transferred to the Depository
Includes:
2. Commonwealth Studies Library: selected material in the following areas:

Advance notice: 2011 Collection moves
Collection moves will be taking place at Senate House Library from May 2011 to the end of September 2011.
These essential moves are necessary in order to accommodate the return of the Library into the newly refurbished areas of Senate House, as well as manage space for ongoing building work elsewhere. The moves will be on a grand scale and entail relocating hundreds of thousands of books in a number of interconnected sequences.
As a result some of our collections will become temporarily unavailable while they are in transit. It will also be necessary to close the Library for sometime in the summer. More details and specific dates will be published when they are confirmed.
We will do everything we can to minimise disruption to users and to provide advance warning. If you are making a special journey to the Library between May 2011 and the end of September 2011 please check our website for the latest information and confirm with staff that the item(s) or collections you wish to consult are available for your visit.
The 2011 collection moves into the newly refurbished areas will enable us to offer a hugely upgraded study environment and collection space. This will provide a greatly improved experience for users, with new desks, infrastructure and navigation, all within a unified Library space.
If you have any questions please do contact us: http://www.shl.lon.ac.uk/library/contacts

HEFCE review of Senate House Library
The Higher Education Funding Council for England recently published Sir Ivor Crewe's review of special funding for research libraries. As a result, HEFCE's funding for Senate House Library will be cut significantly over a period of two years, and a further review has been initiated into the role of Senate House Library. More information and a link to the full report is available on Senate House Library's web site.
Sir Ivor Crewe's HEFCE review of special funding for the School of Advanced Study supported the current funding arrangement for the School and its libraries, and endorsed the University of London Research Library Services. For more information, see the School of Advanced Studies' web site.
