Provision of Study Environments with Individual and Group Study Facilities

Service Description
(including technical
requirements/Specifications)

A fundamental part of the library service is the provision of study environments within our Libraries. Most of the places available will be in open study areas. Within each Library there are distinct areas with and without desktop student PCs. Bookable group study rooms are also available. In some of our Libraries distinct areas reserved for silent study or for use of assistive technology are made available. Our responsibility covers the provision of these areas and the maintenance of conditions that are comfortable and conducive to study.
