About Libraries
We have libraries at each of the campuses. Each library has books and resources to reflect the subjects taught on that campus, but you can visit any library.
Subject Guides
Our specialist Subject Librarians have prepared guides for your subject area. We also have LibGuides about different topics to support deeper research.

Keep up to date with the latest news from the Library on social media or check our Service Status site if something is not working, to see if eresources have issues or downtime.
