In January 2008 we will be starting a series of projects to improve the services provided at WYAS, Leeds:
- With the aim of reducing waiting lists we will be introducing more seating spaces in the searchroom for users of original documents.
- With the aim of locating collections more speedily for our users we will be working on improving our collections information. In order to achieve a dedicated block of time for staff to work on this project we will be closing to the public for the first full week of every month for a period of 18 months.
During this period the increase of the number of days we open from 3 to 4 days per week will maintain our public opening hours. We apologise for any inconvenience caused by the closure weeks, but we hope that you will understand that this work is essential for us to improve our collections and locations information, which will enable us to provide an improved service to our users.
