The Library aims to provide online and physical environments in which all clients can access information, resources and services.

Access and Disability Service

We work closely with the University's Access and Disability Service to ensure the needs of students with an Education Inclusion Plan (EIP) are met. Items in the University collection may be available to academic staff and students with disability to adjust formatting for accessible use.

If you need assistance on an ongoing basis and think you are eligible, please contact the Access and Disability Service. You can meet with an Access and Disability Advisor to determine your needs.

Low sensory retreats

Low sensory retreats are spaces designed to provide a quiet, calming environment that encourages relaxation and self-care. They are not intended as study areas or communal hangouts.

You can find these spaces on your campus using the map links below. Some, but not all, are located inside our campus libraries.
