Harry Fairhurst Building
Postgraduate Study Provision in the University Library
As part of the Library refurbishment significant investment has been made in improving study space provision for research postgraduates. Specifically we offer:
Research Study and Lounge
Located on the top floor of the Harry Fairhurst Building the Research Study and Lounge offers a mix of study space exclusively for use by research postgraduates. The area includes relaxed seating and more formal study desks complete with Wifi and power points for charging laptops. Lockers are also available in this area for daily use. To register for a key to access the Research Lounge or to borrow a daily use locker please enquire at Help & Information in the JB Morrell Library.
Please note:
From Monday 16th January the Research Study and Lounge will have new access controls tied to University cards and all previously issued key cards will no longer work. Students who currently hold a key to the Research Lounge will need to visit the Help desk in the JB Morrell Library to hand back their old card and have the appropriate access added to their University Card. The Research Study and Lounge offers a mix of study space for use by research postgraduates. The area includes relaxed seating and more formal study desks complete with Wifi and power points for charging laptops. Lockers are also available in this area. To gain access the Research Lounge or to borrow a locker please enquire at the Help desk in the JB Morrell Library.

Successful applicants will be contacted with their room allocations during w/b 7th May and others will be kept on a waiting list. A £5 deposit will be payable on collection of the key.

Book drop box in the Ron Cooke Hub on Heslington East – Now Available
The Library are pleased to announce the availability of a book drop facility on Heslington East. The book drop is situated in the Ron Cooke Hub and is accessible 24/7. Items will be collected once a day, Monday to Friday, usually in the early afternoon. Customers should note that items will not be removed from library accounts until the items are received at the J.B. Morrell Library so the drop box should not be used to return items borrowed for 24 hrs or less, such as Key Texts, DVDs, 24 HR loans, overnight loans, study keys. Any items recorded as returned late will be charged fines.
This is a new service that has been introduced in response to customer feedback. We will be monitoring and reviewing use of the box over the coming months so please provide any comments or suggestions to Jackie Knowles, Customer Services Manager, .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address)
