Yes. You will need to pre-book an individual study space at Boots, Brackenhurst, Clifton or Mansfield library in order to access the building.

Bookings can currently be made one week (seven days) in advance.

First, check the current opening hours of your preferred sub-library, and then pre-book a study space for the date and time you require.

Study spaces are available in both Quiet and Silent zones, and with and without a PC. Study spaces are available for three-hour periods, with pre-defined start and end times.

Arriving at the library for you pre-booked session, you will be required to follow the following health and safety measures:

• You are required to wear a face covering at all times, including when seated at a study space
• Please wipe down the study space and PC using the wipes provided, and remember to wash or sanitise your hands before and after use
• When you leave ensure that the space is clean and tidy for the next user. Please place all rubbish in a bin
• Please do not move furniture as it has been laid out to ensure social distancing

Printers are available in the libraries if you've booked a study space or, if you're on the City Campus and would rather not book a study space, you can:

• Print via NTU-WiFi using the printer in the entrance area of Boots Library
• Print in Newton building (if you're not sure where the printers are, staff on the Reception Desk will be able to point you in the right direction)

It is possible to renew library items that you have on loan yourself in the My Account section of Library OneSearch and Library OneSearch Pro.

However, the library has now activated the auto-renewal of items, which means that any item on loan from the library's own stock will be automatically renewed to a later due date - so long as there is no issue with your library account.

The due date of items that are on loan to staff and students from other libraries, such as the British Library, will also be extended where this is agreed to by the lending library.

The library will waive all fines for the late return of any materials on loan which have gone overdue while access to the site libraries at Boots, Brackenhurst, Clifton and Mansfield remains restricted.

Library items required by other borrowers may be recalled and should be returned to the library if requested. You do not need to book a study space in order to return library items.

The library is currently not encouraging students to return items that they have on loan, unless specifically requested to do so.

If you wish to return any items on loan during a pre-booked visit to one of the site libraries, you may do so. But you should not visit the library simply to return items that you have on loan.

You can review the list of library items that you currently have on loan in the My Account feature of Library OneSearch (after logging in with your university username and password).

A Click & Collect service is available for those who have not booked a library study space. Place a request via Library OneSearch and we will make the item available for collection.

You will receive a confirmation email when the item is ready to collect (normally within 24 hours, excluding weekends, after requesting). Please wait until you have received the confirmation email before travelling to campus.

It is not necessary to book a study space in order to collect requested items, although you will need to book if you intend to stay and study within the library.

Libraries across the country have suspended the inter-library loan of physical books and other materials. LLR will attempt to source an electronic or online version of any material needed by a student or member of academic staff.

Please use the Get My Book or Get My Journal Article services to request such material.

Where no electronic version of your request is available, the library will try to recommend an alternative that is available in a digital or online format.

Yes. The full range of the library electronic online collections (including many tens of thousands of eJournals and eBooks) continue to be accessible 24/7. Almost all of these materials can be accessed from any off-site location.

Find and access these resources through Library OneSearch, the Find Databases service or the BrowZine eJournal app.

Yes. New electronic resources accessible from off-campus are regularly being added to the Find Databases service.

A comprehensive guide to how to use the key features of Library OneSearch is available online.

Yes. If you use the library's dedicated routes to electronic resources (such as Library OneSearch), access should be straightforward. If you do encounter any problems, please send an email to libinfodirect@ntu.ac.uk with details of the access issue and we'll work with you to resolve matters.
