The main Library on the campuses will be re-opening on Monday, 5th October 2020 on Weekdays (Monday, Wednesday and Friday) from 09:00-15:00 for students and staff who are permitted to return to campus.
Limited spaces are available for postgraduate students (Masters, Doctoral, Researchers and academics) in the Research Commons. Access to the Special Collections for users with permits is only possible with an appointment.
No browsing of the collections will be allowed, however a book retrieval service will be offered. Users may submit requests for circulating material. Books may be returned to the Issue Desks or Book drop boxes. Users who do not have permission to access campuses are requested to keep the items until campuses re-open. All items on loan will be renewed and library fines for overdue material will be waived.
Online services and support will be the primary mode for your teaching, learning and research requirements. We will continue working remotely and business communication will continue as per lockdown regulations.
We have revamped and expanded the website. The technology behind the new website is up-to-date, resulting in a website that is cleaner, has a less cluttered design, with simpler navigation and easy to use. It presents a unified view of the library resources and is an important element of our digital infrastructure. The main menu is the gateway to the website.
Our new website represents many months of user research, planning and building, resulting in a website that attempts to be intuitive, accessible and simple to navigate.
We are excited about the enhanced user experience it will offer and invite you to submit comments.
