Library and Learning Resources have developed a Customer Charter which outlines all the ways we aim to provide an excellent service. It also outlines how you can help develop your library service. Take a look at our Customer Charter   

As well as expanding our Book Exchange schemes at Curzon and Mary Seacole Library, we have introduced our Popular Fiction collections at Curzon, Mary Seacole and the School of Art libraries.

Following a full audit, we identified and repaired any faulty power sockets. To keep things running smoothly, we’ve arranged for more frequent checks to take place going forward.

In response to student feedback, we've refurbished an area of the Mary Seacole Library to offer greater variety of study spaces for idividuals and groups. We are continuously working with Estates to improve the library study spaces further.

We’ve increased our digital library to give you access to millions of e-resources. Our e-first policy prioritises digital formats wherever possible, for your accessibility and convenience.

To address your concerns about noise levels, we have promoted our Noise Complaint Text Service during exam periods and continued our annual Be Considerate Campaign. Library staff will also continue to actively monitor spaces to ensure everyone can study effectively.

We have clarified the wording on the 24/7 Library Chat widget to emphasise that it is always a real person who answers! We are running campaigns to promote the 24/7 Library Chat service further.

You asked for Colour Overlays to be made available at the Library. 

These are tinted plastic sheets which can be placed over printed texts to help those with dyslexia or visual/perceptual processing disorders (e.g., Irlen syndrome) read more comfortably. A variety of overlays are now available at all libraries. Just ask at any library helpdesk if you would like to use them.

We have installed new digital screens in Curzon and Mary Seacole Library which provide up-to-date information about how the library can support your studies.

In response to your feedback, we have partnered with the IT team to bring an IT Helpdesk Tech Hub to the ground floor of Curzon Library.

We’ve added a variety of indoor plants to Curzon and Mary Seacole Libraries to create a more welcoming and relaxing study environment.

In response to student feedback, we now have polypockets and other stationery available in the open study area and on our helpdesks so that students can obtain them outside of staffed hours.
