There is no library space at Lincoln.
We Answered
The library space in Lincoln has moved from its previous location (now the Discharge Lounge). Due to a reduction in space books are not held at this site (but they can be collected from there). There are study areas and 10 computers available. It is located at the end of the corridor next to the Discharge Lounge (opposite entrance 11). You can access it 24/7 with a Lincoln staff badge.
The temperature is too cold (Lincoln) or too warm (Pilgrim).
Please let us know if you are too cold or too warm as we can let Estates know.

We are currently reviewing the spacing of the computers and any changes this would entail (e.g. installation of LAN sockets).

Print books and journals are outdated.
We are currently reviewing the print collections at all sites. Please let us know if there is a particular book this refers to and we can check to see if there is a newer edition.

Computer and Internet connections can be laggy at times.
This is usually due to the Network. If you are experiencing prolonged issues then please contact the IT department.
