Changes to library services for UCLAN students on placement

From 1st April there will no longer be a UCLAN staff presence in the library and library services to UCLAN students on placement will be managed by the Trust library staff. Books borrowed from Preston must now be returned to Preston and cannot be accepted by the library here at Blackpool. The UCLAN distance learning service is available if you wish to request a book from Preston; see Distance Learning Service for more details.
