Visits to University Libraries in Glasgow

These organised tours will take place at 14.30 on Wednesday 25 June in groups of 20 for each library. If you would like to take part in one of these visits please indicate on your booking form.

Delegates will also have the opportunity to visit these libraries independently during the conference. Further information along with contact details can be found here. All the libraries extend a warm welcome for your visit and look forward to seeing you in Glasgow.

The University of Glasgow Library
The University of Glasgow Library is one of the largest university libraries in Europe having been in existence since the foundation of the University in 1451. The Library holds many unique and distinctive collections.

Glasgow School of Art Library
The visit to the Glasgow School of Art Library will not be taking place because of the recent devastating fire.

Glasgow Caledonian University Library
GCU’s library, the iconic Saltire Centre, was opened in 2006. It is the winner of numerous awards for its revolutionary architectural design and has been hailed as rewriting the design book for academic libraries.

The Andersonian Library, University of Strathclyde
The current Andersonian Library dates from 1980 and is based in the Curran Building on Cathedral Street. In recent years a programme of refurbishment has led to the development of a range of high quality learning spaces for individual academic study, group study and collaborative learning.
