Welcome to the University!

This guide provides information for students who are new to the University or students who want a refresher about the Library.

Guided in-person tours of the Library finished in orientation week, but you can view our speedy tours of all the Library spaces, or use the self-guided posters in the Main Library, JF Allen Library and St Mary's Library. The Library how to's are a series of short videos which include:

• Using online reading lists
• Searching the collections
• Finding books in the libraries
• Using the self-service machines to borrow and return items

Library staff are here to help you at any stage of your time as a student.  You can speak to staff at the Helpdesk in the Main Library for immediate help, and you can also request a one-to-one appointment with a Librarian if you have an in-depth enquiry.  You can find other ways to get in touch on the contacts page.  Please don't hesitate to ask us any questions, we're here to help.
