Whether you're new to York or you've been here for ages but want to know more about our services, go on a self-guided tour ensure you make the most of the library.

Self-Guided Tour

The green posters like the one above are all part of our self-guided tour. There's 10 stops on the regular tour, most of which are on Floor 0 of the Morrell; you'll find the first one on the way in. There are also several 'extra stops' posters around the Morrell, Fairhurst and Burton, for example explaining the online audio-visual resources, or what the SafePod in the Burton is for, or how to access more Art resources. In each case, whether you're following the introductory tour or just spot an Extra Stop poster in the wild, scan the QR code and get a bite-sized intro to the area you're in and the relevant services - either by reading a short webpage or watching a short video.

Virtual Tour

You can also get to know our main buildings (and some of our staff, who do the voice-over for this one) with new Virtual Tour - learn about our digital labs, the Skills Centres, the Family Study Room and of course where to find books for your subject.
