The University Library and its staff are here to support your studies, providing you with access to information – online, multimedia or printed – and the skills to make the most of it.
Your University Library is much more than books. It offers places to study, a café and access to a range of support services. You can also access a wide range of e-books and electronic resources online, from the comfort of your own room.
Use this guide to make a start in finding out how you may use the Library and access its resources and services.
In this video, Samantha will take you on a short tour of the University’s Library. Find out who can help you with your studies, where to study, how to find and borrow a book, and where to get that essential coffee break.
You will need to use both printed and online academic sources available from the Library to do well in your studies. To learn how to find and borrow printed materials, please use the 'Finding Print Resources' link above.
For information on finding and accessing the Library's online materials, please use the 'Finding Online Resources' link above.
Explore the Library with this quick online guide with maps and images - you can always revisit this before your first visit to the Library building.
