Your University Library
Across campus, you have access to several library sites where you can find resources for your course and your research, use study spaces, and access support when you need it.
All undergraduate and most taught postgraduate students will be given lists of required or recommended reading and other useful materials. You will find the lists for your programme via the reading list link in your Blackboard course. For more information, watch our video on how to find and use reading lists
Many of your required and recommended readings will be available through your University Library, through our physical and digital library collections. You can access your library account, our digital collections and online services from anywhere off campus.
You can also access the new students reading list compiled by the University Library, covering everything from study skills, to guides to student life and things to do in Sheffield.
