Please remember to bring your HWU Student ID card in order to access our Edinburgh Campus Library.
The use of the Library, including the collection and facilities, is governed by the Library Regulations in the University Academic Regulations (Reg No. 11). Access to the Library is managed by use of your HWU Student Card including all resource and room booking transactions. Student Cards should be presented at the security gates on entry/exit and this is a requirement for the security and safety of all Library users.
We understand that occasionally you may forget your card so it is now possible for you to be issued with a Library Day Pass. You will need to fill in a Student Day Pass form at the Library Service Desk with your details and show an alternative form of ID. You will be issued with a Day Pass which lasts for 24 hours. A note will be made on your Library record.
If you have lost your card, then please go to the Student Service Centre for a replacement.
Thanks for your co-operation, we appreciate your help in ensuring that the Library is a safe and secure learning environment for us all.

The Library refurbishment project is now complete and we have four floors of brilliant study spaces. We have had positive feedback about the improvements but we’re always keen to hear what you think about the Library.
We have a ‘Happy or Not’ terminal at the Library exit across from the Service Desk.
Last week, we had 92% positive feedback! Please let us know what you think

We are introducing Study Break cards for use in our Edinburgh Campus Library.
Although the Library is open 24/7 everyday, it is important to have regular breaks. Therefore when you leave your desk in the Library, fill in a Study Break card, place it clearly on the desk and your space will be saved for you for up to 30 minutes.
Pick up a card from the Library Service Desk.
Space in the Library is in high demand during revision and exam time so please use the Study Break cards. If your space remains unoccupied for longer than 30 minutes, and other students need the space, then your belongings will be put aside or moved by Library staff. You may not reclaim the desk if you return after 30 minutes.
Staff will be monitoring the study spaces throughout the day and evening but cannot accept responsibility for unattended items.
Please DO NOT leave any valuables unattended at any time.
We will be monitoring the Library space as usual. We have had lots of feedback from students in favour of Floor 3 being silent study space so please continue to use it responsibly.

Starting from Tuesday 23rd April we have been activating student and staff ID cards for entry to the Library. The entrance gates (turnstiles) have been in place since last year as part of the Library refurbishment but they have been set in offline or local mode. We are now able, due to additional software, to update the gates to online mode. This means that only HWU student and staff ID cards will be valid and these cards must be updated at the Library Service Desk. This process will only take 2 minutes per person.
We will start activating the cards from Tuesday 23rd April while keeping the gates in offline mode to ensure everyone has a chance to enter the Library as usual and bring their card to be activated. From Monday 6th May, the gates will be changed to online mode and only activated HWU ID cards will allow entry. We will not refuse entry to the Library for anyone, but would appreciate it if you could come and have your ID card activated as soon as possible. Your co-operation is appreciated.
