Library services

We offer a number of services for students, staff and visitors. We can help you to find the items you need, even if they’re not in our libraries, and can support staff with reading lists and teaching.

Scan your ID card at the gate and come on in, use Library search to see where your books are on the shelves, find a study space and check out your items with our self-service machines.

And if you're unsure about anything, please
Just Ask! We're happy to help.
