In addition to the 3 main University Libraries on campus, the library also manages the University’s off-campus “Research Reserve”. This newly refurbished facility provides thousands of metres of additional shelving space and allows us to store (and continue to make available) a wide range of books, journals, reports and other material. We also provide storage for other parts of the University and other museums in Newcastle too.

We are pleased to offer tours to University staff to our off campus Research Reserve to learn more about our collections, the scanning service we provide for Desktop Delivery and to view the storage and study space available.

Tours are available at 2pm on :

  • 18th June
  • 2nd July
  • 20th August

We can arrange transportation to the Team Valley for a small number of attendees, please book a place via louise.gordon@ncl.ac.uk

 

You can also arrange to meet us at the Research Reserve.

There is a large car park available at the facility and a regular bus service from Newcastle, the Team Valley Express no. 91, with a stop directly outside.

The full postal address is Unit 1, Dukesway Court, Dukesway, Team Valley NE11 0QX

Dukesway can be accessed via the A1 from either Lobley Hill roundabout, via Kingsway,  or Low Fell roundabout, via Retail World.

As the shelving at the Team Valley Store used to look…

The shelving installation at Team Valley is now complete. In addition to shelving for books and journals, the installation also includes picture racking (below).

Work is continuing in the Robinson Library on Levels 4 and 1 week, as we move the PER 530 (Physics) and PER 540 (Chemistry) journals. This work will take all week, so, again, Level 3 is likely to be the quietest place to study.
