Changes in the Library

Richard Savage, the Plant Sciences Librarian, is retiring at the end of June. We have been discussing with Genetics the possibility of sharing their librarian, Christine Alexander. It has been agreed that from 1 July, Christine will spend 40% of her time in Plant Sciences and 60% in Genetics. She will be with us on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday mornings. The arrangement will be reviewed after six months, when a decision will be taken as to whether to continue with the scheme. Views from all library users will be welcome during the trial period.
