Update 11 July 2025 (3 pm)
The network upgrade work has been successfully completed. All services and facilities should now return to normal, including access to the Library Wi-Fi network and all computers.
Thank you for your patience while we carried out this vital work. If you continue to experience any difficulties connecting to our Wi-Fi network or using computing facilities in the Library , please speak with a Library IT Helper in the first instance. If you have any other difficulties, please let us know.
The Library computer network is undergoing an extensive upgrade this summer between 30 June - 13 July. Most Library services and facilities will continue as normal during this period but desktop computers and Wi-Fi access will only be available in some parts of the Library building and there will be a few changes to how some services are offered.
Signage around the building will help direct and remind you of these temporary service changes and you can ask any member of staff if you have any questions or concerns.
Here's a summary of the changes you can expect:
Computer and Wi-Fi availability
- Wi-Fi and desktop computers will continue to be available in Areas 0A, 0B, 1B, and 2B.
- A limited number of networked workstations will also be available in the Postgraduate Study Room.

- You are welcome to study in these spaces.
