The Biomedical Library is closing for refurbishment

The Biomedical Library (MBC) will be undergoing a refurbishment during summer 2021. To facilitate this work, the Biomedical Library will be closed from 7th June to mid-September 2021.

The refurbishment will result in several improvements for users including:

  • Group study rooms will be increased from 1 to 5
  • 2 individual study rooms will be created
  • Reader spaces will be increased to 145 including 17 study carrels

To facilitate this work, the Biomedical Library will be closed from 7th June to mid-September 2021.

Study space remains available in the McClay Library and the Medical Library.

Print stock anticipated to be high in demand has been identified and will be made available in the McClay Library on Floor 1 from the week beginning 14th June. Students can access these items as normal and borrow them using the self-service facilities in the McClay Library. Unfortunately no other Biomedical Library stock will be accessible during the refurbishment but please check the library catalogue in case the text is available in another library branch or is available as an electronic book.

Books can be returned to either the McClay Library or the Medical Library. It will not be possibly to return books to or collect requested books from the Biomedical Library from 5th June onwards. Inter-Library Loan requests can still be submitted as normal, though ILL books will need to be collected from the Medical Library.

Staff are still available to help so please use QUB Library Chat or email biomedicallibrary@qub.ac.uk to contact a member of staff. Subject Librarians are also contactable via their direct emails
