Go straight to my library accountMessage to all students: From the 11th January 2010 we will be making changes to our fines and renewals procedures.

This will affect you in a number of ways - full details can be found in our Changes to Fines and Renewals leaflet, and we advise you to have a read through this.

Please note that if you have renewed your loans on 3 or more occasions prior to 11/01/2010 they must be returned to the library and discharged from your library account.

Your UCLan Library is more than just a building full of books. Whilst we do have thousands of books which offer extensive reading for each and every subject (as well as thousands of e-resources which can be accessed online), the Library is also home to a wide range of study areas to meet different study needs. These include:

  • - group study zone
  • - silent study areas
  • - bookable study rooms and pods
  • - quiet study areas
  • - a design suite

You'll also find hundreds of computers and apple macs, with laptops and MacBooks available to borrow within the building.  Refreshments are available from the 'Food for thought' cafe.

The UCLan Library is a modern and up-to-date space, thanks to extensive refurbishments carried out during the summers of 2008 and 2009.   Test your knowledge of the new library - have a go at the Library Tour Quiz

Our current students say:

"The library is great. There are plenty of key texts and the staff are always happy to help. The balance between traditional research and ICT has been calculated well and the optimal learning atmosphere has been achieved. Plus it looks great and you can get a brew!" 

"Spacious, well arranged, well equipped, innovative and useful. Impressive facility"
