Facilities for users with special needs

  • Students with disabilities or additional needs have a loan entitlement of 48 hours rather than 24 hours for reserve items, and of 6 days rather than 3 days.
  • Issue desk staff are willing to help users with special needs to obtain books and journals if they have difficulty accessing the shelves. If you would like this service, please hand in a list of the items you need before 4 p.m. The items will be ready for you to collect by 10 a.m. the following day.
  • Users with dyslexia may be able to reclaim their photocopying costs from their Local Education Authority. To do so, please obtain your photocopying credits from the library desk rather than from the recharging machine. We will issue a receipt which you should submit to your LEA.
