SEFS on the Move

The Science, Engineering, and Food Science floor, known also as Q+2, closed on the 1st June 2007. Over the June Bank Holiday weekend an army of workers transferred (temporarily) all the material down to the Basement area Q-1 of the Boole. Q+2 is the first floor to be refurbished and will be the new home to Law and the Social Sciences. Until August you will find all your SEFS material and the Q+2 staff located on Q-1. A Reading Room is available and certain book stock (500-574) is on open-access. The remaining books and all the journals are in a closed access compact shelving area, and are by request only. Staff will be delighted to assist you, so please do not hesitate to ask at their new Information Desk, or use their usual phone number 2284. You can also email librarysciencefloor@ucc.ie. We will move in August to our new permanent home on Q+1, which will also have been refurbished.
