Noisy Neighbours (in the Library)?

Floor 3 is silent study at the moment - if you find that you have noisy neighbours you can text a library attendant to deal with the problem, without leaving your seat.

Text 0121 204 4489 giving your family name, your student number, the floor you are sitting on and the word Noise.

Silence on Floor 3 of the Library

Thank you all for keeping Floor 3 silent.
There is a really studious atmosphere up there at the moment.
This is the perfect place if you are revising alone.

Availability of Essential Textbooks for BF1101 ‘Principles of Financial Accounting’

Students may have noticed that the essential textbooks for BF1101 are not available for loan at present.

The library has ordered multiple copies of ‘Frank Woods Bookkeeping and Accounts’ and these will be available for loan soon.

However we will not have copies of Dr Basioudis' ‘Financial Accounting: A Practical Introduction’ until January at the earliest due to publisher’s release dates.

The two books are available as a package at a special price in the University bookshop on the ground floor of Dalton Tower.
