New Audio-Visual Room​ for streaming video and audio

The Library has a new Audio-Visual room in Main Library (Red 2.5) for students and staff to watch DVDs or listen to music, as part of their coursework.  Located by the DVD and Music collections, the communal space, which will run as a pilot project, serves a maximum of 4 viewers. The space can be reserved through Resource Booker in the same manner as Group Study Rooms.  Please note that this dedicated space is reserved exclusively for the use of these new AV facilities. 

For further details, including how to book, visit the Audio Visual Facilities webpage (part of the Books and Media Resources section of the Library website).

Almost all AV material will continue to be available for loan, whilst details of the full range of the Library’s streaming services for video and audio can be found through the database directory offered on the Library Subject Guides.
