Welcome to the final instalment
of our blog series profiling Swansea Met libraries. This week it’s time to
introduce you to our newest library, located at Swansea Business School…
Swansea Business School Library
opened its doors on Monday 24th September 2012 after many months of
moves and reorganisation, involving a lot of hard work by library staff (and Pickford’s
removals!). The library is conveniently situated on the first floor of the new
campus building, making it easy for staff and students to pop in
between lectures. We have a vast selection of books, journals, DVDs and CDs
relevant to all subjects taught within the Faculty as well as daily newspapers,
dissertations and lots of other useful reference material.
We’ve tried to create a friendly
and welcoming environment with different ‘zones’ to suit all your study needs. There
are 47 open access computers available along with printing, scanning and
photocopying facilities…there is also free Wi-Fi throughout the library for
anyone who wants to connect to the Internet via their laptops, tablets or
smartphones. We have a quiet study area for those who need to concentrate, as
well as a group study area for students that want to discuss their ideas with
friends and classmates. If you need to practice a presentation or group project
we also have a seminar room that can be booked in advance and is equipped with
a PC and large plasma touchscreen. All our zones are comfortably furnished with
a colourful range of desks, chairs, study booths, sofas and soft seating, so
there’s always somewhere to take the weight off your feet when it all gets too
much!
Library Assistants are always
available at the main issue desk to help you but, if you are in a hurry, why
not use our self-service point to issue, return or renew your books and to pay
fines by debit card. If you have a more detailed enquiry or would like to know
how to access our online resources pop over to the enquiry desk and speak to one
of our Librarians (mugshots below!)…they can also arrange library tours and more detailed
training sessions upon request.
