Artificial Intelligence Library Services [archive news item: 2002]

The Artificial Intelligence Library was almost completely destroyed in the fire in the heart of Edinburgh's Old Town on 7th December 2002.

New Arrangements for A.I. Library Services

Arrangements have been made to provide continued Library services for Artificial Intelligence as follows:
  • Current journals normally displayed at A.I. will be displayed in the Main Library (on the first floor, alongside other current journals)
  • The AI book collection is being established in the Main Library (first floor)
  • Requests to buy replacement copies of books should be sent to Olga Franks (Olga@inf.ed.ac.uk); but for items required urgently please complete an InterLibrary Loan form
  • InterLibrary Loan requests can be made for any books, journal articles and research reports which are no longer available; there will be no charge for this. Online request forms are available for this; please help us process your request promptly by specifying that this is for A.I. material and by completing the user agreement form.
    Printed InterLibrary Loan forms are also available in all Library sites

  • Material on loan from A.I. should be returned to the Main Library, specifying that they were issued from A.I.
  • Services to undergraduates will continue to be provided by the Main Library
  • Please remember that copyright legislation still applies! Any photocopying of books which have survived the fire must be within the CLA guidelines on photocopying, or publishers' permission sought. Library staff are willing to help with this. Please contact Jenny Flemington, Liaison Librarian, Engineering and Informatics (Jenny.Flemington@ed.ac.uk) tel. 0131 650 6474.
