So you talked and we listened! During the most recent academic year the Schulich student body and the Office of the Dean of Schulich communicated a strong interest in longer Bronfman Business Library opening hours to support study needs.

In the short-term we responded by extending our hours in the run-up to exams and during the exam period in Winter term 2013. We extended our hours for four solid weeks from Mar. 25^th to Apr. 21^st, and offered longer hours on six out of the seven days each week! At the time we both blogged and tweeted about this to spread the happy word. The fact that this was our most popular tweet of the year also made us pay attention!

The final outcome, we hope you’ll agree, is a pretty awesome one! Commencing Sept. 9^th 2013 (the first day of Fall classes) we will be offering longer opening hours at the Bronfman Business Library every day of the week (Monday to Sunday) for the length of the Fall term (until the exam period ends).

This marks the breaking of new ground for us. We hope you love our longer opening hours and that our usage statistics (and comments!) will tell a tale of a gap in your study needs unmet to date.

Here’s a summary of the new hours which will apply this Fall term totalling an additional eleven hours of opening time:

Mon.- Thurs.              8 am – 11 pm [we used to open at 9 am and close at 10 pm]

Fri.                              8 am – 6 pm   [we used to open at 9 am]

Sat.                             9 am – 6 pm [we used to open at 10 am and close at 6pm]
Sun.                           11 am – 8 pm [we used to open at 12 pm and close at 8 pm]
