Getting to know the Library and Archive Centre
The Library is open seven days a week with a range of spaces for group and individual study across the five floors of the building.
Our collection is a mix of on-shelf materials and online resources providing access to more than 500,000 books and ebooks, 350 PCs and a huge range of online resources including databases, journals and more.
You can take a break from your studies in our café or the Relax and Renew area on Level 0.
Speak to our friendly staff at the library desk on Level 0 or chat with us online below. You can also contact your librarian who can help you make the best use of our resources, from developing your topic and choosing sources, to managing your references.
The Library is home to the University Archive Centre, a visually engaging space open to everyone. Our unique archives and special collections include a permanent display of personal objects from Sir Alex Ferguson's life.
