Library's later opening …
The library at the Royal Pharmaceutical Society's London headquarters is to remain open until 7pm on Thursday evenings for a trial period from 1 September.
It is hoped that the later closing time will enable more members to make
use of the library’s services out of office hours. If the change
benefits a significant proportion of library users, it will become permanent.
The library will be able to take telephone calls on Thursday evenings
on its direct dial number (020 7572 2300), which will remain available
after the Society's main switchboard number closes for the evening.
The library currently opens on Thursdays from 10am to 5.45pm. On Mondays,
Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays it opens from 9am to 5pm.
… and longer loan periods
The maximum period for which pharmacists and preregistration trainees can borrow books from the Society's London library has been increased from 12 to 16 weeks.
Books are initially loaned for 28 days and can be renewed for further
28-day periods if not required by another user The library has now
increased the number of times a loan can be renewed from twice to
three times.
Book loans can be made or renewed in person, by e-mail (library@rpsgb.org),
by telephone (020 7572 2300) or through the online
library catalogue (olib.rpsgb.org.uk). Further information
about the loan service, including the delivery of items to borrowers
by post, is available from the library
or from the library
pages in the Information Resources section of the
Society's website. |
