Libraries

Due to COVID-19 risk assessments we have implemented a range of social distancing measures in our libraries which has significantly reduced capacity. As a result we have to prioritise university staff and students and are unable to welcome external members for the coming academic year.

We are therefore not offering external library membership options, including SCONUL Access during the 20/21 academic session. Existing external members will be able to borrow books they have reserved on the catalogue until their membership expires. They will not be able use the library spaces for reading or studying.

We will review this decision in July 2021 when hopefully capacity will be closer to pre-COVID-19.
