*NEW FOR 2011-12* *Practical, short introductions to the UL’s amazing special collections and the rooms that house them*

In response to student feedback, the University Library has created two new training sessions introducing some of the jewels of its special collections, along with practical advice on how to access them. The Rare Books and Manuscripts Reading Rooms house unique material, and for that reason these rooms have extra regulations that may take you by surprise on your first visit! These sessions are designed to help you find out what to expect and how to make the most of the UL’s special collections.

‘Rare Books Room: An Introduction’ and ‘Manuscripts Department: An Introduction’ can be found and booked at http://training.cam.ac.uk/cul/, along with the rest of the UL’s training courses on finding, using and managing information.
