Study spaces

Our libraries are equipped with a full range of facilities for students, researchers and staff members, including computers and facilities for printing, photocopying and scanning.

The study zones are arranged to provide areas for silent study and for social learning/group work. Currently the computers are available on a first come-first served basis but we hope to have the booking system restored soon.

Our library janitor cleans key touchpoints regularly throughout the day, including door handles, stair rails, toilets etc. As a library user you are asked and expected to wipe down your desk, university laptop or computer (including mouse and keyboard) and any printer you use - both before and after use. Cleaning materials are provided at sanitising stations in the library.
