Major changes concerning the premises of LLR 2011-2012

During Spring and Summer, our premises will undergo major changes. This will affect the shelving of the books, self-check-out, self-check-in, information points and more.

Furniture in the lounge areaThe biggest changes will be seen on the entrance floor. During the Summer parts of it will be rebuilt into a lounge area. All books that now are shelved on this floor will be moved to the other floors. The information points will be moved to a more central position on floor two. 

Also the systems for checking out and checking in books will be modernized by a change into RFID technology. The returning of books will now be possible 24 hours a day. 

The searching of LLR’s information resources will also be subject to changes and a new so called discovery system - Summon - is implemented. Read more about Summon and give it a try.

Plan for the changes

  • Weeding and some reshelving of books will take place during March and April 2011
  • All physical material will be given RFID chips during May 2011
  • The books now shelved on floor two will be moved during June 2011
  • During the autumn 2011 the final necessary changes for building the lounge and installing the automatic borrowing and returning equipment will be made.
  • Furniture to the lounge will arrive in March 2012
  • New information points will be installed during the spring of 2012

We apologize for any inconvenience that may occur during the period of rebuilding. Feel free to contact us if you have questions or comments!
