The digital library

Access Library resources from home

Find reliable scientific sources

Library as a place

Find your ideal study spot

Forum Library has a study space for every need. Work together in a group study room, settle into a comfortable focus pod when you need some peace and quiet, or find an individual study spot to focus on your work.

When we're open

The Library is open weekdays from 8 am to 10 pm (Fridays until 6 pm) and weekends from 10 am to 6 pm, with extended hours during self-study and exam weeks.
