Welcome to your Library!

The University Library and its staff are here to support your studies, providing you with access to information and the skills to make the most of it. Your University Libraries offer much more than books. They offer places to study and access to a range of support services. You can also access a wide range of e-books and electronic resources online, from the comfort of your own room.
