The Library has purchased a wide range of new online resources to support learning, teaching and research. Find out more below!

Please note the Library will be closing on 8pm on Sunday 24 August and re-opening at 8am on Tuesday 26 August.

We have recently updated and replaced the directory signage in the library lift lobbies, with improvements based on room name and location changes, as well as feedback gathered through a user experience project focused on library navigation.

The new signs, titled Library Floor Guide, provide clear information on:

• Room locations for each floor
• Subjects and classmarks of books available
• Which areas are designated as quiet zones and which support group or collaborative study

In addition to the lift lobby directories, we’ve also updated:

• Stairwell signs
• Directional signs located before the bridge to the extension floors
• Hanging signs at the entrances to the extension areas

Each sign now features QR codes that give quick access to:

• Library help
• The interactive floor map
• Library search tools

These updates aim to make it easier to navigate the library, find resources, and choose the right space for your study needs.

LSEG Workspace is a new global company and financial markets database now available to all university students, staff and researchers. It replaces the LSEG Eikon and Mergent Online databases which are now retired and no longer available.

WRAP, our institutional repository, will be offline for essential maintenance from 2:00 p.m. on June 12, 2025.

We expect service to be restored by June 13, 2025, but will update this message if the situation changes.

Thank you for your patience.
