Please bear in mind that the Hartley library is undergoing extensive refurbishment this summer and your preferred study space may be closed or noisier than normal. Library staff will guide and advise you about the quietest and most comfortable spaces for study, but if you prefer to go to a different library, you’re welcome to use the National Oceanographic Library at Southampton Docks:
There’s no parking available at the site, but you can use the U1C bus to get there. Please remember to take your University ID card with you.
You don’t need to be physically in the libraries to use library services: off campus and away from Southampton there’s a full range of online resources which you can use via the Southampton Virtual Environment:
If you need support while you’re using these, library staff will be available to help on the webchat service throughout the summer.
