Update - 1st February 2021: We've introduced a Click and Collect and Postal Loan Service for access to physical items that aren't available electronically. Please see our announcement for details.

The Arts and Social Sciences Library is currently open 7 days a week, 9am-5.30pm on an essential access only basis.

This access is restricted to: 

We want to reassure you that we will not refuse entry to anyone fulfilling either criteria. However we would remind you to ensure that you have been tested before you return to campus and that if you are permitted access to ASSL you strictly observe two-metre social distancing and wear a face covering at all times. Please note that food is not permitted in the library, and all drinks must be lidded.

All loans have been extended until the Monday 19th April and will be extended further if necessary. At present, books (from any UoB Library) can be returned to the Arts and Social Sciences Library but, in line with Government advice, you should not visit the library solely for this purpose.  

You will find further information, FAQs and support options on our one-stop shop page. 

As indicated, these provisions are likely to change as government advice is updated so please check our website or Twitter feed regularly.
