Re-open the Putteridgebury library, or at least allow
students to have books sent over
No library services at Putteridgebury
Do have access to resources via the digital collection
The decision to close the Education Collection at Putteridge Bury
was made in close consultation with the department. Closing the resource room
at Putteridge Bury from academic year 2017 – 2018 was as a result of the closure of the Butterfield site
(Butterfield staff serviced Putteridge Bury) and the relocation of all library
staff to the Luton campus. Library services at Putteridge Bury are available
digitally and online.
The Luton Library is open 24/7 Monday to Sunday, provides access
to a wide range of study spaces, state of the art PCs, a reservations
collection point and help and advice on using the library from the Customer
Service desk and academic skill support from the Study Hub Drop In desk.
Extensive work has been undertaken by the teaching team and the
Academic Liaison Librarian to ensure at least 90% of all material listed on
reading lists is available digitally.
Discussions were undertaken with the teaching team to explore them
taking ownership of the reservations collection service before the closure, but
at that time it was felt unnecessary.
