In August 2018, Library staff met with representatives from\nthe School of Biological Sciences to discuss and plan Library engagement and\nSchool support over the coming academic year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One area that the School was interested in exploring was the\nPop Up Library concept which had been successfully used across other areas of\nthe University. The idea behind the Pop\nUp Library is to provide a mobile Library desk with flyers, brochures, freebies,\nand staff with the same friendly advice and support that you\u2019d get at any of\nthe QUB Library service points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The School felt that this would be a useful approach to meet with, and promote the Library to, new Biological Sciences students beginning in the 2nd<\/sup> semester, and for those about to take exams. It was agreed that in early March 2018, the Library would set up and run the Pop Up Library in the Medical Biology Centre Building foyer over two days (12 \u2013 13th<\/sup> March).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Over the busy two-day period Library Medicine, Health and\nLife Sciences Subject Librarians and staff from the Biomedical and Medical\nLibraries met a large number of staff, students and visitors to the MBC\nBuilding. Library staff fielded a\nnumber of enquiries, Subject Librarian contact cards were handed out, and many\nfreebies were given to students. In\naddition, the School of Biological Sciences provided tea and coffee for the Pop\nUp Library, which was very well received.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Overall, the Pop Library was very successful and we look forward to running others in different areas of the University in the future.
