Service hours

Most of the facilities in the IC are self-service, and therefore available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

This includes borrowing and returning books, reserving books, paying Library fines, using the computers, printing, scanning, photocopying, adding money to your printing and copying account, and booking group study rooms and computers.

To collect requested books or get help with any of the services, you will need to come during service hours.

The IC Team is on hand during service hours to help you with any queries you may have and you can find us at the Information Desks on Level 0 and Level 1.
 

You can also call for assistance using the phone at any of the Business Units. Just press the help button.
