Easter Vacation Opening Hours – 29 March – 18 April 2021

Campus libraries will be open between 9:30am and 6pm, Monday to Friday, except for the Bank Holidays, Friday 2 April and Monday 5 April when they will be closed.

April update – library opening times, PC and study space bookings, fines and book returns

From Monday 19 April libraries will be open 09.30 – 7.45pm Monday -Friday until the end of term. Any visit must be pre-booked using the ‘Book a study space’ tile within My Brighton. This applies to both staff and students who want to browse the collections and is in line with the current arrangements for click and collect.

Book a PC or Study space

From Monday 19 April PC and study space bookings will increase from 2 x 2 hour slots to 3 x 2 hour slots per day.

Once a booking has been submitted and you arrive at the library before your allocated time, you must call the library helpdesk phone number to validate your booking so staff can enable entry into the library. All details are provided at all library entry points.

Fines are suspended until September 2021. However please return any items promptly that are not renewed because someone else is waiting to use them. Books can be returned at any of the libraries and there is a freepost returns service if you are unable to return them in person, please contact Library@Brighton.ac.uk for details.

When on campus and in libraries and computer rooms

Please follow the safety measures in place to keep staff and fellow students safe:

  • Face coverings must be worn at all times and 2 metre social distancing protocols followed, avoiding clustering with others around entrances and foyers.
  • Please do be respectful of our staff and COVID marshals who will be on site to support students to follow the current guidelines.
  • All spaces in libraries and computer rooms are for individual study only and must be pre-booked.
  • Book before you leave home, making sure you bring your unicard as you will not be able to gain access without it

Booking computer rooms

The following computer room spaces can be booked to use in the following locations:

  • Edward Street
  • Watts Building Level Two
  • Falmer computer room
  • Eastbourne computer room

The desks in these areas are suitable for general study as well as computer use and for the use of Microsoft Teams to support remote learning. These are all bookable via the Book a PC tile on My Brighton and you can currently book 2 x 2 hour slots per day, increasing from 19 April to 3 x 2 hour slots per day. All rooms have printing and scanning facilities.

Click and collect service will continue

As well as being able to book a study space to browse the library collections our library service will continue to provide a range of closed access services, including Click and Collect, postal loans and freepost returns, in addition to an online enquiry service.

Online resources are available via your library subject guide and if you need advice or support in accessing these or other resources please do contact your Information Adviser. You’ll find their contact details on your subject guide or email library@brighton.ac.uk.

IT support

For IT support on any campus, contact the Service Desk on 01273 644444, or email them at servicedesk@brighton.ac.uk.

Services available

Software and support 

Information Services offer a range of IT and computing facilities that you can access once you are enrolled. For more information please visit IT services for students (login required).

Free Microsoft Office for your computer

As part of our Office 365 subscription, University of Brighton and BSMS taught students are entitled to download Microsoft Office ProPlus on up to five devices (Windows and Mac computers) plus any mobile devices for free.

Mobile support

We provide support for iOS devices predominantly within the university. We provide limited support for Android devices but are unable to provide support for other operating services (although our services may work with them).

This is because the majority of mobiles devices accessing university services use iOS and so our main focus of support is for these devices.
