Using the library

The library staff are dedicated to helping you with your research and studies during your time at the University. Our services reflect this dedication as we aim to provide you with an appropriate and comfortable environment which combines study and social spaces for both individual and group study. 

Find out how to borrow and return books, how to manage your library account, the options and locations for printing and photocopying and FAQs on how to use the library, where to eat and drink and our opening hours. Find out about all the study options available in the library, from silent study on level 2 to our flexible learning space on level 1.

We know many people use the library for a variety of reasons and in a range of different ways. This section will help you find the resources and services available in the library to suit your own needs such as inter-library loans and information for visitors.
