What makes our service great? Helping you find, analyse, use and manage knowledge – fast.

In 1960 we started in a room in the Vice-Chancellor’s house. Today we’re the bedrock of learning, teaching and research.

Consistent, high-quality customer service when you are looking for resources, professional advice or support.

Students need higher-order skills for their future career success. We work with academic staff to include library research skills in curricula.

Making data easier to find and re-use, and providing you with tools needed for 21st century research, is what we do.

Today’s scholars demand libraries that meet changing styles, which is why we design our libraries to inspire you to achieve your goals.
