Inormation about the University of Portsmouth Library, its services and activities
We are delighted to report that a full four years after we first received Customer Service Excellence Standard recognition, our award has been fully reviewed and reaccredited. The Library was once again found to be fully compliant in all areas, bar one point of partial compliance, with several areas being scored as “Compliance Plus”, indicating we exceeded the already high standards expected and demonstrated good practice.

In the interim period the Library reserves the right to decline entry to visitors, entry will be granted for study purposes only and all visitors are reminded of the need to abide by the Library Regulations.

Finding books is easier than you might think. It might not feel like that when you first walk into the Library and realise it dwarves the college library you might have been used to using but there are a few very simple tricks to finding your way straight to what you want.
Card printing has moved to a new home in the University Library. Now, when you need a new staff or student card printed, perhaps because your old card was lost or damaged, you can simply complete the relevant web form and then pop into the Library between 9 am – 5 pm, Mondays – Fridays.
