Are you studying Judaism? We now have access to two additional journal titles!

If you are currently studying Judaism, you may be interested to learn that we can now access two new journal titles via our library electronic database ‘Project Muse’. 

The two titles are:

1. Conserative Judaism: this journal is very much based on the ideological and theological aspects of Judaism.  Currently only the latest issue of the journal (Vol61 2008-9) is accessible, but this will be added to each time a new issue is released.
2. Jewish Quarterly Review : this american journal, first published in the late 1800’s, takes in a broad spectrum of jewish topics.  On-line access via Project Muse currently allows you to view articles published from 2005 up to the present day.

Summer Loans!

The Library is now stamping standard loan books over the summer period. However some courses continue beyond the end of the semester and so reservations remain effective for the time being. Therefore books are subject to being recalled until the end of June.

Congratulations to all final year students!

Congratulations to all those students who are completing their degree course this year.   I wish you all well for the future.
