International law books

Over the last few weeks we've reorganising the law books. The main changes are that international law books (Law H, I, L and M) are now with the law collections in the main building on level 3. We hope this will make access to these collections much easier.

Commonwealth law and American law remain in the West Building on level 2, and we've created a new Stack Law sequence in the Annexe for older and less used material.

The locations in the catalogue should all be updated in the next few days, and we'll have the correct signs in place as soon as possible
