Library turns new page

The 2 million volumes at the University of London's Senate House library are to be opened to thousands more students. From August, a scheme in place since the 1990s, under which colleges buy a limited number of library passes, will end, and all students and staff will have full borrowing rights. "It's time the resource was back at the heart of the community to which it belongs," said David Pearson, director of the university's research library services.
