Tuesday Nights At the Whittaker Library

It's Trimester 3.  It's Tuesday.  And the Whittaker Library is open until 8 pm - and will be open every Tuesday evening until the undergraduates return for Trimester 1.

What are you waiting for?! If RCS staff or students need books, scores, music, playscripts, or advice about our online resources ... please do drop in.

Finding the Big Band Charts

We have quite a few big band charts in the Whittaker Library collection.  All beautifully catalogued, too, but there was a problem.  

What our jazz musicians asked for, was 'big band charts'.  But although our catalogue gave details of composer, arranger, title, publisher, instrumentation - the words big band chart just weren't there. 

It felt like a summer project for Trimester 3.  Although it hasn't felt much like summer here, we're proud to say that the big band chart project is now under way.  All the wind and brass sets are being checked to ensure there aren't any big band charts hiding away, undiscovered and/or undiscoverable.  And all the big band charts are getting their catalogue entries revised to make them more accessible.

You want to find big band charts?  Type big band chart in the catalogue search box!  So far, it looks like this (click here).  Keep coming back - there will be more by the end of next week!

Tropical Forest? Whittaker Library? Guess the link!

You know those clever little leaf-cutter ants, bearing big bits of leaf as they process through a tropical forest?

They come to mind today, as the Whittaker Library welcomes a steady procession of staff and students diligently returning books at the end of session. All library materials must be returned today.

Once accounts are clear, staff and continuing students can borrow again for the summer. 


There are special arrangements for graduating students.  If you are leaving at the end of Trimester 2, please do remember to return all your Library materials, and have a great Summer!

The Library is open normal term-time hours until Saturday 14th June. The following week, we commence Trimester 3 hours, when the Library will be open from 9-5pm Monday – Friday.

In addition, we will be extending opening hours until 8pm on Tuesday evenings from 8nd July – 2nd September. 

The Library staff are here throughout the summer to support you in your studies, so please do make use of the facilities.
