You'll find lots of resources to help you with your studies, whether it's books or journal articles from the library, free access to IT facilities, or support with research skills - we're here to help! Find out what's available to you below.
Library
The Library is your first port of call to find books, journal articles and other useful resources for your coursework. It's also a great place to study.
The Library has over 30 staff who are happy to help. If you have a quick question, pop by the helpdesk in the foyer or contact them by live chat. There is a team of dedicated information librarians who you can contact with more in depth questions about finding resources for your assignments.
Everything in the Library can be searched using the online catalogue which gives details of materials the Library has in print, as well as the many other online information sources.
You’ll find quiet and silent spaces for when you need some peace and quiet to get an assignment done. There are also group study spaces and bookable group study rooms available for collaborative learning. Wi-Fi is available throughout the building.
Check out Welcome to Solent Library, our online induction for new students which includes a welcome video and an introduction to finding and using eBooks.  You can also get to know the Library and the friendly team of staff during Welcome Week by completing our scavenger hunt.

Library computer facilities
Students have access to PCs and Macs, printers, and photocopiers on all floors of the Solent Library.
You can borrow a laptop from the self-service lockers available in the Library - you'll need your campus card to do this.
Succeed@Solent
University work doesn’t just involve learning about your subject. It also means learning how to explore what other people have said, develop your own viewpoint, carry out research, and communicate your ideas to the standard your lecturers expect.
This might feel like a big step for you, but don't panic! There's lots of help and advice available to you - any time you need it - through Succeed@Solent.
Don't forget to check out the study skills collection on floor 1A in the Library too.
LinkedIn Learning
You may also find it useful to have a look at LinkedIn Learning which Solent students can access for free. LinkedIn Learning has numerous courses and videos that support both your wellbeing and learning. Find out more via the LinkedIn Learning for Students guide.
