Cutback on library service in Foulum
The number of ST libraries with service will be cut back from four to two when the service functions in Foulum and Navitas close.
The faculty management has decided to consolidate the library services for engineering at Katrinebjerg, to continue the present library service in Ny Munkegade, and to close the services in Foulum and Navitas.
Much of ST’s library budget consists of subscriptions to electronic journals. The publishers charge more for these electronic licenses every year. Combined with an increasing exchange rate for the dollar, this means that the faculty management has seen the need to prioritise costs in this area.
The library in Foulum will continue to offer access to the handbooks that are on the shelves and to the archives on a self-service basis. Thus Foulum will have the same level of service as most of the departments and centres in Aarhus and other ST locations outside of Aarhus.
The changes to the library service are expected to take place in the course of 2017.
