Study room & specialist PC booking

The VU Library provides access to study rooms and PCs with specialist software. For laptop loans and support, please contact IT Services.

Find out how to book a study room or PC in advance.

 

Book a study room

Study Rooms are bookable using MyPC for up to two hours and up to seven days in advance. Room bookings cannot be extended and usually one booking is allowed by a user.

Study rooms are for group study only (two or more students). They are not for individual study. Study rooms can only be booked and used by VU students. They are not available for staff use.

Library staff reserve the right to cancel or re-allocate a booking, or ask someone to leave if the:

  • student who booked the room does not turn up within 15 minutes of the booking
  • room is being used by a person other than the student who has a current booking
  • room is being used by an individual
  • room is being used for a purpose other than study
  • behaviour of users is inappropriate.

Room booking guidelines

We strongly advise that you book a study room (for two or more students) in advance.

Remember to turn up within 15 minutes of the booking time, as your booking may be cancelled and re-allocated to other students.

You can book up to seven days in advance, with a limit of three active bookings at one time.

Collaborative study is encouraged and quiet study applies in some areas of campus libraries.

Please do not to use mobile phones in quiet study areas.

Book a PC with specialist software

At the City Library, you can book a PC with specialist software (EIKON, Datastream) using MyPC for up to 5 hours and up to 7 days in advance.

Library staff reserve the right to cancel or re-allocate a booking, or ask someone to leave if the:

  • student who booked the PC does not turn up within 15 minutes of the booking
  • behaviour of users is inappropriate.
