Visiting other university libraries during the summer

The Sydney Jones Library here at the University of Liverpool is not the only library undergoing extensive building works and / or refurbishments. Summer is the traditional time for major works to university libraries (for example, the University of Warwick library is undergoing extensive re-modelling, and the main library at University College London will see some collections inaccessible as building works are undertaken).

As such, if you intend to visit another university library during the next few months, you're advised to ring ahead or check their websites to ensure the material or services you want are available. The University of Exeter provides a listing of UK academic libraries that may help you with this.
