Viewing Areas

There are viewing booths available on level 2 of the library, next to the glass wall, where staff and students can view DVDs, Blu-rays and VHS tapes from our vast collection (using headphones). For reference only items you will need to get them issued and cases unlocked at the library helpdesk.

DVD Viewing Area

For group viewing there is a bookable Library Meeting Room. This is located behind the hold shelf, not far from the main library helpdesk. Groups can watch videos without headphones and are able to talk freely; ideal for group projects.
