There will be some further relaxing of the COVID-19 restrictions from Monday 19th July and our Scottish campuses will move down to Level Zero.
However, the guidelines for using the Library are not going to change just yet and we hope that you will continue to be considerate to other students and staff in the Library by following these steps:
Study spaces
Book a study space through the Student Portal or direct at Resource Booker
In Resource Booker, you can filter to locate a study space with a PC and can filter on available times.
Please confirm your booking at the Service Desk on arrival at the library – bookings are provisional until confirmed
ID cards
You must have your HWU ID card to access the Library.
You use your card to swipe in through the entry gates to the Library.
We cannot allow you access to the Library without your card.
If you have lost your card, please contact the Student Service Centre through the student portal.
Face coverings
Face coverings are essential at all times – when you’re moving about and also when you are sat at your seat studying. It is still mandatory to wear a face covering in Libraries
Physical distancing
Only individual study is supported due to current guidelines.
We don’t have any group rooms or spaces available.
2m distancing must be observed including when coming in and out of the Library building
Study spaces are clearly marked with green YES or red NO and are numbered – see floor plans
