There is so much to explore in both the Library building and the Digital Collections. To get started, visit the Library Blackboard space.

Library Blackboard

On the Library Blackboard space you will find a suite of resources to support your studies.

LEAN Library

Using the Library's digital resources? If so, you need to have Lean Library installed.

Drop-ins

If you need support in using the Library, come along to one of our drop-in sessions.

There is so much to explore in the Library. Here are some useful bits you will want to know about:

Library Search is Getting Upgraded!

On 30th July 2024, UEA Library will be launching an updated user interface for Library Search. 

The new Library Search will be clearer to read, easier to use, and mobile friendly. You'll still get all the same search results as before, but the user experience will be enhanced. 

Test the new Search Interface Now!

Booking a Study Room

If you would like to use an individual study room, or a group study room, you can book these up to 7 days in advance using Booker.  

Individual study rooms can be booked in 4-hour timeslots, group study rooms are booked in 2-hour timeslots. You can book a maximum of 1 individual room timeslot and 1 group room timeslot per day. 

Please see our step-by-step guide for further information on how to book a study space in the Library. 

Are We Missing Something?

Suggest a Book

Fill out our suggest a book / e-book form if you’d like us to purchase something for the Library. This can be for your studies, or for general enjoyment, it's up to you! We also actively encourage requests for items for our ​​Decolonise UEA Library campaign.

Teaching Staff - if you need titles for a reading list, please use an online reading list to detail the books you need.

Get Access to Material UEA Library Doesn't Own (or is not in the format you need)

If you want a journal article or other materials UEA Library doesn't currently own, use our Interlending Service. You can also use this service to request a PDF of items we currently only have in print. 

Our Interlending Service can help by:

  • Borrowing books on your behalf from other libraries, or sometimes purchase the book / e-book you need
  • Supplying digital copies of book chapters and journal articles from other libraries
  • Supplying digital copies of book chapters and journal articles for items where we only have the print book / journal in UEA Library

Quiet Hour

Quiet Hour in the Library is every Thursday from 9am-10am. During this time Library staff will avoid scheduled works in the building, encourage other users to keep discussions to the designated group study areas, and respond as quickly as possible to Noiseline complaints. We hope this will help you to feel empowered to use the Library at this time if you experience sensory overload.

You can text the Noiseline anonymously on 07824301748 if you are being disturbed at any time in the Library. It is monitored by staff 24 hours a day and we will respond in person to assist, just let us know the problem and your location.
