The Caird Library has revised its opening hours, to start the week beginning Monday 14 April 2008.
The Reading Room will now be open Tuesday to Saturday, and be
closed on Sundays and Mondays. The new opening hours are Tuesday-Friday 10.00-16.45, and Saturday (open by appointment only) 10.00-13.00, 14.00-16.45.
Why have we made this change? The National Maritime Museum is planning a new Research Centre, part of a multi-million pound project to enhance access to the paper-based collections at Greenwich. All Archive and Library staff are involved in preparing for this exciting new resource, and we need to reduce public hours so that quality of service isn't compromised while we do this.
Some key things that we're working on are: a new and improved online manuscripts catalogue, new and exciting ways to tell archive stories online, a new digital imaging service, improving the quality of our archival cataloguing and the storage of the collections.
The E-Library (tel. 020 78312 6516) will continue to open 7 days a week 10.00-16.45 (Saturday and Sunday open 10.00-13.00, 14.00-16.45).
The change in opening hours will continue from Monday 14 April 2008 until further notice.
