Your University Library
Across campus, you have access to several library sites where you can find resources for your course and your research, use study spaces, and access support when you need it.
All undergraduate and most taught postgraduate students will be given lists of required or recommended reading and other useful materials. You will find the lists for your programme via the Reading List link on the left menu of your Blackboard courses.
Many of your required and recommended readings will be available through your University Library, through our physical and digital library collections. You can access your library account, our digital collections and online services from anywhere off campus.
You can also find a resource list for new students at the University, compiled by the University Library, covering everything from study skills, to guides to student life and things to do in Sheffield.
