Renovation of building R12, Essen

Humanities and Social Sciences Library (GW/GSW) Clearing of the Reading Room / 2nd floor

From January 19th onwards, the 2nd floor has to be cleared because of comprehensive rehabilitation with regard to pollutants and fire protection.

Once and for all:

  • The textbook collection will be moved from the ground floor to the basement.
    Part of the library stack will be opened for the public.
  • The reserve collections will be found on the ground floor in the former textbook collection area.

Temporarily:

  • Loose-leaf-collections and current issues of journals may be found behind the information desk on the ground floor.
  • Bound journals will be kept in a closed stockroom.
  • Inter library loans and holdings from the library stacks, which may not be borrowed, are kept at the information desk on the ground floor.
  • The number of workplaces in room A on the first floor will be augmented.

How long will this renovation last?

End of the renovation works is expected by the end of June 2015.
