IMPORTANT UPDATE: In light of the national lockdown announced 23/3/2020, the Library has to close with immediate effect and until further notice. Books will continue to automatically renew indefinitely and you will not be charged fines. Library Staff will continue to answer email enquiries to library@brunel.ac.uk, and our FAQ and Chat services on the Library homepage. Our phone number, 01895 266141, may not be answered for the next day or two but we will get it up and running as soon as we can. We wish everyone well, stay at home, stay safe and save lives.
Even though most of our staff are now having to work remotely, we're trying to carry on as best we can providing you with support through this difficult period. So please keep contacting us through the Brunel Library homepage (https://www.brunel.ac.uk/life/library) or through the connect portal (https://connect.brunel.ac.uk) and we'll do everything we can to help you with any Library or connect issues you have. In the meantime, we thought it would be nice to start a gallery o...f images showing how we're all adjusting and carrying on though the disruptions, so please send us or tag us in any pictures of how you're adapting to the challenges. And please pass on to us any good study tips or coping strategies you have found that we can share them with everyone. It will be tough at times, but we'll adapt and come through. So please keep in touch. Even though we're not there, we're there for you!
