Introducing the SERC Library

The SERC LRC has now rebranded to the SERC library.  

SERC Library Manager David Greer comments, “After consulting with library users via our student survey, 86% of respondents preferred the title ‘library’ or had no preference, over our longstanding title LRC (Learning Resource Centre). We also felt some new students might be confused as to what a LRC is, while the vast majority would know what a library can offer. Therefore, we felt the time was right to return to our traditional name of the library.” 

The library is much more than a repository of books, it offers: 

• Almost 30,000 books 
• E-resources (including over 1200 - books), as well as e-resource and e-book inductions 
• Helpful and knowledgeable staff 
• Stationery sales 
• Laminating and project binding services 
• PCs with specialist course specific software 
• Printers and photocopiers 
• Library inductions 
• Silent, individual and group study rooms 
• Talks from local artists 
• Creative meet ups and book clubs – more details to follow 
• Student art and projects displays 
• Fabulous Fiction Library (bring a book take a book) 
• New fiction section in the Bangor library donated by Libraries NI 

A massive thanks to the SERC Creative Developers team who created, printed and installed the new signage in record time.
