Self-collection of reservations...

...now available in Stratford campus library (on a four month trial). As you probably know, the library is open 24/7 during term-time. However, until now it has not been possible to pick up books you have reserved outside of our unstaffed hours (http://www.uel.ac.uk/lls/about/openinghours.htm). As of yesterday (8th February), though, we have started a trial of placing reserved items on open shelves near the self-issue machines. More information is available here: http://www.uel.ac.uk/lls/news/index.htm#selfcollection.

I'm sure you will agree that this is excellent news, as it means that even during staffed hours, you will no longer need to queue at the front counter to pick up items! Fingers crossed the trial will prove a success and we might then be able to roll this out as a permanent new service feature. Keep your eyes peeled!
