Library Update for All Students

Aston University Library Welcomes All New and Returning Students

Library Matters Live  All new students are invited to attend a Library Matters Live session which takes place in Fresher's Week and Week One of term.  You can see the timetable on the Library website.

From 1 October 2012, the Library will be open 24/6 throughout term-time.

You can use Library SmartSearch to find books, journals, articles and electronic resources.  We will be holding drop-in help sessions in the Library foyer throughout Week One.  Library SmartSearch is complemented by a series of LibGuides containing listings of recommended resources for each subject for finding information such as books, journals and databases.  

You can renew your books and check your Library Account via My Library Record.  You can also renew your books using the self-service machines in the Library.

Location of Books

Most of the books are on the second and third floors and some have moved location over the summer.  Books numbered 001 – 499 are on Floor 2 and books labelled 500 – 999 are on Floor 3. Please check the class number / call number on Library SmartSearch, pick up a floor plan in the Library or ask staff for help. 

Help Desk

If you have any queries, please ask a member of staff in the Library at any time.  
During term-time, the Help desk is open 09:00 - 18:00.  Email: library@aston.ac.uk     Tel: 0121 204 4525
