Students, staff and alumni

Out of standard opening hours, the library will operate on a self-service basis. A University ID card will be required to access the building after 6pm on weekdays and during the weekends. If you have lost your University ID card you should contact the i-zone. Alumni members will need to ring the doorbell to access the building during evenings and weekends. Be prepared to present your card to security when entering the building.

While we appreciate everyone learns in different ways, we ask everyone to be respectful of other library users during this time and follow our regulations and terms of service. Please ensure you are studying in an appropriate zone for the work you’re carrying out.
