Where does the Library sit in the University structure?
As part of the Student and Academic Services Directorate the Library comes under University Library and Collections Services (ULCS) headed by Julia Munro. Also within ULCS is University Museums and Special Collections Services (UMASCS), which brings together the museums with the University's collections of rare books, archives and manuscripts (formerly housed in the Library).
