'I find it difficult to get to the university library'

The Frenchay Campus (Bolland) Library is open 24 hours a day during term time. See the Library web site for details of other opening hours. If you still find it difficult to get to the library, however, there are a number of options available to you.
  • You may find it more convenient to use the resources and facilities of another of the University's four campus libraries. Follow the links to each campus library at www.uwe.ac.uk/library/info. Items may be borrowed and returned at any campus library, and they all provide somewhere quiet to study.

  • Support services for those who find it difficult to come to the Library are detailed at www.uwe.ac.uk/library/info/library_support_services

  • Access to UWE's library catalogue is always available on-line.

  • Many of the library's electronic resources can be accessed off-campus. These include databases, journals, market surveys, financial and company information. See www.uwe.ac.uk/library/info/library_support_services/offcampus.htm.

  • You may be able to work in a local library near where you live. All libraries are listed in the local phone book. Bristol Central Library (Link to www.ukattraction.com/west-country/central-library.htm) has a web site.

  • Part-time and placement students can join the Sconul Access scheme which allows you to use other University or College libraries. Member libraries will allow reference use of their resources, plus limited borrowing rights. You will probably not be able to use their computers. Full time students may be able to use member libraries for reference only. See www.access.sconul.ac.uk.

  • During vacations, many university and college libraries allow reference use by students from other institutions. See www.access.sconul.ac.uk

  • If you still experience difficulties, your Faculty Librarian may be able to make some suggestions.
