Newcastle University Library
Newcastle University Library is the library service for students and staff at Newcastle University, UK. It consists of:
It is the only library in the United Kingdom to receive the Charter Mark award for excellence five times in a row. It has since been awarded the Customer Service Excellence Award twice.
The University Library has won The Times Higher Leadership and Management Award for the Outstanding Library Team.
The library of Armstrong College, the precursor to Newcastle University, was on the third floor of what is now the Armstrong Building, before moving to a larger room on the first floor in 1906. In 1926 the library moved into a new building on the other side of the quadrangle, which also housed the libraries of the Royal Victoria Infirmary and the Medical College which eventually merged with Armstrong College.
A substantial extension to this building in 1960 was quickly outgrown by the library, which from 1963 served the new University of Newcastle upon Tyne. In 1982 a new library building opened on Jesmond Road West, occupying ground cleared during the construction of the Newcastle Central Motorway in the early 1970s. It was named the Robinson Library in 1989 and renamed the Philip Robinson Library in 2016. The building was extended in 1996 to provide additional study space and a large computer cluster.
In 2014 a Pop-Up Library was launched in the King's Road Centre to provided additional study space during the summer exam period, and the Pop-Up Library returned during exam periods until the opening of the Marjorie Robinson Library Rooms in January 2016.
The Philip Robinson Library is the main library for Newcastle University, and is located on Jesmond Road West. It was named after Philip Robinson, a bookseller in the city and benefactor to the library, in 1989. The subsequent £8 million bequest in the will of his widow Marjorie remains the largest sum donated to a UK university library. The library was initially known simply as the Robinson Library until 2016, when it was renamed as the Philip Robinson Library to distinguish it from the new Marjorie Robinson Library Rooms.
The library allows students and members to access a wide variety of material, including:
