Opening Times and Covid News

This information was reviewed on 21st July 2021

Following the move to the final stage of the Government roadmap and the end of lockdown from 19 July, Library and Learning Services spaces will continue to be open to all DMU students only.

While lockdown is over, we ask you to be considerate in your use of physical study spaces and, like other DMU campus buildings, we encourage you to take personal responsibility for keeping others safe, including continued social distancing and the wearing of face masks in library spaces. 

Online access to resources

We are continuing to support your studies remotely so that you can work online. You can:

• access our electronic library resources 24/7
• use our postal loans service for items available in print format only. Further information on borrowing, renewing and returning items is available.

Support

We offer a range of support to help you enhance your research and independent study. You can get help from:

• specialists in learning and academic skills support, including research and referencing, academic writing, maths/statistics and digital skills via online tutorials, drop-ins, live chat and online workshops
• Studiosity which offers assistance 24/7 and 
• LinkedIn Learning which provides access to online courses and videos.

If you have a query related to how to access and use our services, go to our 24/7 live chat provided by LibChat or email our JustAsk service.

You can find details of IT support available here. If you have an IT query email itmsservicedesk@dmu.ac.uk or call the ITMS service desk on 0116 250 6050.

 On-campus services and facilities

Kimberlin Library is open 7 days a week with summer vacation hours in operation. Please check our opening hours before you visit to check the opening hours of buildings and the availability times of our face-to-face staffed support.

The Law Library and Greenhouse remain closed, and the Eric Wood Learning Zone is now closed for study until October.

We ask you to be considerate in your use of physical study spaces, and we encourage you to take personal responsibility for keeping others safe, including:

• continued social distancing and the wearing of face masks in library spaces
• sanitising your workspace before and after use - spray and paper towel stations are located throughout our buildings
• undertaking two lateral flow tests when studying on campus via the Watershed for booked asymptomatic tests or the EWLZ pop-up site for drop-in tests.

Additional ventilation measures, including open windows, will continue to be in place to increase fresh air flow, and it might feel colder. Please dress accordingly

Stay safe and well.
