Library Study Space – approval for bookings

From Monday March 29th, there will be an extra approval step when booking study spaces.

Study spaces are limited due to the Covid19 restrictions and University and Government guidelines. The maximum number of spaces in the Library is 200 and these are for essential study. It is important that you only book the space for the number of hours that you need it and that you do show up. We have had a number of no shows which disadvantages other students.

The booking system will be same as usual – see information here but your booking will be provisional until you get to the Library and check in at the Service Desk. If you don’t turn up for your booking within an hour of the start time, it will be cancelled so that another student can book it.

Happy New Year – Edinburgh Campus Library opening hours

Happy New Year and best wishes to everyone for 2021.

The Edinburgh Campus Library is open today 9:00am -5:00pm and the planned opening hours for Wednesday, Thursday and Friday this week are 9:00am – 5:00pm.
Due to the new restrictions and Government guidelines, it is possible that changes to the opening hours will take place at very short notice. Our opening hours are also dependent on staff availability which in turn is sometimes affected by travel arrangements and caring responsibilities.

Please remember to bring your ID card and face-covering.
Face-coverings must be worn at all times while in the Library.
You don’t need to book a study space in advance – we have plenty available.

We hope to be open for the following hours during January:

Please check our social media pages for any last minute changes – we will update our twitter and facebook pages daily and also update the website on a regular basis.

If you have any enquiries, please contact the Library Service Desk on 0131 451 3577 or email ServiceDesk@hw.ac.uk or ISHelp@hw.ac.uk

Click and Collect – extended opening hours – Edinburgh Campus Library

We are extending the hours that the Click and Collect service for books from our Edinburgh Campus Library is available. This is to make it easier for you to come and collect books if you are only on campus for one day a week.

The opening hours from today are:
Monday to Friday 8:45am – 8:15pm
Saturday to Sunday 10:15 – 3:45pm

Please remember that you will receive an email to say your book is ready to collect and any time after you receive the email, it’s available. We process requests as quickly as possible but sometimes books are in quarantine so there is a short delay.
For details of how to request a book via Discovery there are instructions here

We are also changing the location within the Library for the collection point. It will now be at the main Library Service Desk rather than at the West entrance. Again this is to make it quicker and easier for you to collect your book. You will still need your student ID card and face-covering.

If you have any questions, please contact the Library Service Desk ServiceDesk@hw.ac.uk or 0131 451 3577

Re-opening Edinburgh Campus Library – 7th September

Planning is continuing across the University for next semester and the Responsive Blended Learning approach in the new academic year.
This also includes the future opening up of buildings on campus.
The good news is that the Edinburgh Campus Library will be open from Monday 7th September.

The Library will be open Monday 7th – Friday 11th September 9:00am – 5:00pm for Welcome Week.
Then from Monday 14th September, the opening hours will be Monday – Friday 8:30am – 8:30pm and Saturday and Sunday 10:00am – 4:00pm.
There are currently no plans for 24/7 opening for Semester 1.

Access to the building will be controlled according to social distancing guidelines as will movement round the building. Occupancy will also be limited as we will only be able to use approximately 25% of out total study spaces.

You can access thousands of learning resources online through Discovery https://www.hw.ac.uk/uk/services/is/find-resources.htm

Please let us know if you require any help to find online resources or if you have any further questions by emailing @ishelp@hw.ac.uk.

Planning for re-opening Library buildings – Edinburgh campus

We have had a number of enquiries regarding the re-opening of the Library building on our Edinburgh campus but as yet we don’t have any news of an actual re-opening date.

There is a great deal of planning happening across the University for next semester and the Responsive Blended Learning approach in the new academic year.
This includes the possible future opening up of buildings on campus as and when appropriate.

The Library building is likely to be opened in a later phase of the planning.  We don’t expect it to be open for students until the beginning of September at the earliest, and even then access and occupancy will be limited in line with social distancing requirements.

You can access thousands of learning resources online through Discovery https://www.hw.ac.uk/uk/services/is/find-resources.htm

Please let us know if you require any help to find online resources or if you have any further questions by emailing @ishelp@hw.ac.uk.  HW Discovery Update
