Crichton Librarian: Avril Goodwin
The Crichton Library has been created by combining the collections of the Crichton Campus’s 3 partner institutions: University of the West of Scotland, University of Glasgow, and Dumfries & Galloway College. It is located over two floors in an exciting, innovative learning space which has been created as part of the new Dumfries & Galloway College Building, and will provide library services for all students and staff on the Campus.
This has involved a lot of planning and hard work over the past two years, and some of this work will have to continue into the new session, as the final parts of the project come together. Please bear with us as we put the finishing touches to the new, improved Library Service!
The Library holds books, journals, and audio-visual material to support all courses taught at Crichton Campus. The standard loan period is two weeks. Most materials can be borrowed, with the exception of journals and reference items.
In addition, some materials may be put on "Short Loan". These are kept at the Service Desk and are restricted to a 4 hour and/or overnight loan.
By the end of 2008 there will be a single catalogue for all Crichton materials, but until then you may need to use an additional system called Heritage for finding and borrowing some library materials.
Further details of this are available from a member of staff.
