New collaborative spaces, bookable rooms and extended hours for the new term. This illustrative article was written for the prototype and shows how a migrated newsletter post could read on the new Library website.

Why it matters

Students and staff at the Institute increasingly rely on library services that are online, discoverable and easy to use. Small changes in how we search, save and share information can save hours across a semester.

  • Twelve new group study rooms
  • Silent study zones on level 3
  • Longer weekend opening hours
Spaces shape how we learn together.

Getting started

Begin with the Library's subject guides, then book a consultation with a librarian if you need tailored help. Our team can walk you through tools, strategies and resources relevant to your programme.
