Library Website
The University of Dundee has 4 library sites. These are the Main Library, which includes a separate area for the Law collections; DJCAD Library in the Matthew Building; the Robertson Trust Medical Library in Ninewells Hospital and the Nursing & Health Sciences Library in Kirkcaldy. The study spaces and resources in all of these libraries are available for use by all students and staff, irrespective of their discipline.
For more information, please see www.dundee.ac.uk/library/opening
Drinks (hot and cold) and cold snacks may be consumed in library buildings.
Hot food may be consumed in the cafe areas (if available) of our libraries.
We do not have a booking system for PCs or study spaces. Please have consideration for your fellow users by not leaving unattended personal items at study spaces, particularly at busy times when study spaces are in demand.
To maximise availability of PCs for all students, we also ask that you do not leave a PC logged on in your absence.
Silent Study – for individual, silent study. Conversation and other noise disturbance should be kept to an absolute minimum
Quiet Study – for both individual and group study. Please keep conversation, mobile phones calls and other interactions at a low volume to avoid disturbing others
Group study – for both individual and collaborative work. Please keep conversations and group work at a moderate level to reduce the impact on those working in adjacent study spaces.
In non-designated areas, talking is permitted, providing others are not disturbed.
Standard Loan items will automatically renew for up to 24 months unless requested by another library member. To avoid incurring fines, it is always advisable to check your University email or your Library account regularly.
The library is cleaned every day, but you can help to maintain a pleasant environment by leaving your study space clean and tidy. Recycling bins are provided throughout our libraries for your litter and wipes are available for cleaning your keyboard/mouse and desk.
We realise that accidents do happen – if you spill any food or drink, please let a member of library staff know so that it can be cleaned up as quickly as possible.
