We're working on a new guide to offer specific guidance on using the Library for users with specific needs:

Disability support

We are committed to ensuring that all students and staff can make the best use of our services.

Support when using the Library

Reserving and collecting books

We understand that finding the books on the shelf may not be easy for people with visual or mobility issues so library staff are happy to fetch any books off the shelf for you: please ask at the enquiries desk for this service.

You can also reserve any items on the shelves and we'll pick them for you to collect from the reservations area.

If your disability prevents you from coming to the library easily, we can make arrangements for your books to be collected by a friend or colleague or posted out to you. Please contact us to discuss this option.

Assistive Technology

The Library has adjustable height tables with computer access and low level short-stay computers.
