Entrance to the library is on the ground floor of the Joel Joffe Building. There are automatic doors to enter the building, but assistance may be required to enter through the main library doors. Please ask a member of staff if assistance is required. You will need your student or staff card to enter the library after 7.00pm Monday to Friday. External visitors will be unable to access the library after 7.00pm.
As well as having a dedicated Health and Social Work Library at Swindon and access to online resources, staff and students based at Swindon also have access to the full range of resources, services and facilities available from the Library at the Headington Campus in Oxford.
