All three campus libraries open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week (occasional exceptions may apply). Outside staffed service hours, students continue to have access to the full range of library book collections, self-service borrowing and returns via Self-Issue Kiosks and Return Bins, study spaces, computers, and photocopying, printing and scanning facilities. This enhanced access model provides students with greater flexibility to use library facilities and resources whenever they need them.

Staffed service hours include enquiry services and support.
