Inormation about the University of Portsmouth Library, its services and activities
Every year, you tell us that our resources were one of the things you like most about your courses. We are excited to empower you to fulfil your potential and go further, and have spent nearly £3 million on resources to ensure you have everything you need to succeed. We have also worked hard to make it easier to understand how to find and use our electronic resources.
You told us you enjoyed being surrounded by attractive works of art so we expanded our display space and turned much of the Library into an exhibition space.
You tell us every year that the Library is one of your favourite study spaces on campus, but that space can be at a premium at peak times. we reimagined and repositioned the Book Nook, introduced many more individual and shared study pods, and refurbished our soft seating areas so you always have somewhere comfortable to sit.
We are really excited to present the expanded and refurbished study suite exclusively for our postgraduate students. We hope you will enjoy the luxurious finishing touches and dedicated computing in this former staff office space. It has some of the most picturesque views of Ravelin Park anywhere in the Library.
