From Monday 5th July we are lifting the limit on study space booking

You can book a slot to use a desk and a PC for up to three hours at a time. Just click up to three blocks when making a booking. Need longer than three hours? Just make another booking that follows on after your first. 

From Monday 5th July there will be no limit to how many hours of study space you can book per week. 

For details see How do I book a desk? 

A range of different PCs are available (some with assistive software). NCME and Developers Room PCs are higher spec machines and can run specialist departmental software. Desks in the Law Library do not have PCs but have power and wi-fi for working with a laptop.  

When can I book a slot? 

The Library has extended its opening hours as of 5th July 2021. If arriving between 5pm and 9pm, please enter the Library via the Eagle Tower entrance (next to the Eagle Bistro). You will need your UoB ID card to gain entry to the building. 

Use of the Library is recommended:

• To students who do not have appropriate access to online study facilities at home or in their local accommodation
• Where students need to attend campus individual study spaces for their own wellbeing and mental health.

Where possible students are advised to study at home and make use of online learning resources.

What happens once I've made a booking? 

Once your booking has been approved, you will receive an email confirming your slot.

Please arrive for your booking promptly. Once you arrive at your desk please check in using the link in your booking email or the QR code on the desk.
