We spend millions of pounds each year getting York students and staff through paywalls, and there are several ways in to the amazing resources we make available online. None are better or worse than the other; they're just different, and you'll need all of them at different times. Read on and in three minutes' time you'll know exactly where to start from now on, when finding material for your assignments.

Our main Library on Campus West consists of three connected buildings, containing over 1,500 study spaces as well as about a million books. Here's a guide to the three buildings and the services you may find useful.

Whether you're brand new to York, or just haven't used the library much so far, here are 6 essential things you need to know.

The Morrell Library entrance has been redeveloped over the Summer, as part of the University’s long term investment in campus infrastructure. The refurbishment provides more study spaces and a more welcoming, modern look and feel. This post will tell you all you need to know about what will happen when and how it will affect library services, including Fairhurst temporary entrance which we'll be using until late October.

From the 1st September we will be introducing new email addresses for our Faculty Librarians and our Reading List team.

We recently conducted a research project with postgraduate researchers to find out more about how you identify library resources and use our tools and services. Read on for a summary of what we found and our proposed actions.

If you're about to graduate, huge congratulations! Please remember your peers still need to use the books, so get any you've borrowed back to the library soon.

The main library is open 24 hours a day for the four weeks of the exam period. But 24/7 opening doesn't mean 24/7 studying!
