We’d like to offer a warm welcome to all students starting in September; we hope you’re looking forward to studying at BCU and exploring the library’s services and resources.

A good place to start is with the library website where you can find our quick links, including our referencing guidelines. We also have a Frequently Asked Questions page where you will find answers to popular questions such as what is my library PIN?
We collated subject guides which provide a good starting point for the library resources in your subject area.

If you have a disability or require additional needs, find details of the different types of support available on our dedicated services and support page.
Online reading lists are accessible for the modules you’ll be studying. These contain reading material recommended by your lecturers who work closely with the library.
