Using the library
IT Facilities
There are 250 PCs available in the Library with the majority of these located on the upper floors. The Library also has a wireless network throughout the building so you can connect to the University's network from your laptop or mobile device. You can check PC availability in the Library and across campus below.
Short stay PCs
There are a number of PCs in the Library that are designated for short stay use so are ideal when you need to quickly print a document or check your email. These PCs are usually located next to Library Catalogue PCs or near to a printer. After twenty minutes of use the PC will automatically log you out and you will be unable to use the same PC for the next hour.

Q: Where can I get help on using software?
Many programs have built-in online help but you can also try searching Library Catalogue Plus for any manuals or guides that the Library may have in stock.
Q: Do visitors have access to Library PCs/wi-fi?
Unfortunately, there is no way for external users to access the Library's PCs or wireless network. If you are visiting from an educational institution that uses the Eduroam network you should be able to use your own wireless devices if Eduroam has been installed on them. Any queries on how to install Eduroam should be dealt with by the IT support at the visitor's home institution as we are unable to support access queries on external devices.
