How the Library can support you during revision and exams
We understand that revision and exam time can be stressful. Here are some services and resources the Library provides for you. If you have any questions or if we can help with anything, please let us know. Email [email protected]
Group study rooms
Want a quieter space to study together? Book one of our group study rooms. We have rooms on levels 2 and 4. There must be at least 2 people in your group.
One-to-one help
The Academic Liaison team are on hand to help with searching our databases, problems with ebooks or any resources, referencing software and more!
Consistent opening times
You will always know when the Library is open – during semester we are now open 8am-2am each and every day! For full details of opening times over the winter vacations and for site Libraries such as St Mary’s and J F Allen, have a look at our webpage.

The Helpdesk is open:
| Monday-Friday | 09.00-21.00 |

Recall service
If you need a book for revision, or if you just need that book, and someone has borrowed it, recall it – they will have one week to return it for you (shhh, recalls are anonymous).
Texting service
If you are on the SILENT levels and are being annoyed by noise send us a text.
In your message, please:
Text the word “noise” or whatever is bothering you (noisy headphones/eating/chatting) and the nearest table number (e.g. 3-046) to 07740 421569.
Chat service

The Library can get very busy, so the Students Association has compiled at list of spaces where you can find a seat and/or a pc if the Library is closed or too busy.
