Library buildings have different study zones to cater for different types of study:
- Collaborative: for group work and collaboration; electronic devices permitted as long as you don't disturb others. Normal conversation permitted.
- Quiet: for individual study; electronic devices on silent are permitted. Whispering only permitted.
- Silent: for silent and serious individual study; no electronic devices except laptops permitted. No talking permitted.
More information about study zones is available on our website, including locations and study zone codes of behaviour.
In addition to study zones, each library has a number of group study spaces that students can book in advance. All group study rooms and booths in libraries must be booked using the online Library spaces booking system. Contact staff in one of the libraries for more information.
