To mark World Photography Day, here are some of our favourite photos of the Library, past and present.
Did you know that we used to be located on the 3rd floor of College, overlooking what is now the roof garden? The LP listening stations have since given way to CDs and DVDs, which you can now borrow alongside CD drives. We have also had a bit of a furniture upgrade 😌

PSA 📢
You can now sign into OpenAthens with your normal College account (Office 365) - no need for separate login details!
If you're already signed into Office and go to OpenAthens you will go straight to the resources list without needing to enter any details 🎉
This means new users won't need a separate activation code to set up an OpenAthens account. For those with an existing OpenAthens login, you are welcome to continue using these details to sign in, but it is no longer a necessity 😊

The National Student Survey (NSS) results are in, and we're thrilled to say that for the Library-related question ("How well have the Library resources supported your learning?") we received a fantastic score of 94.5%! This lists us as one of the top 15 University Libraries in the results, and 2nd amongst the UK conservatoires!
This result + THE Award + Library survey = one very happy team 🥰
