Library
At the heart of St. Edmund’s College is the library, which provides access to thousands of resources including books, computers, desk space and printing facilities. There is also a range of online resources accessible throughout the College.
Our Librarian manages the collection and can order you any book your need for your studies, as well as offering bespoke, one-to-one support.

“How do I borrow or return books?”
The Library has an RFID self-issue/self-return system located on the Lower Level.Up to 10 books may be borrowed, with books automatically renewed until the end of the academic year unless recalled by another reader. Due to pressure on key texts, readers are encouraged to return books once they are no longer needed.
“Can I request a library book?”
Our library functions largely on a responsive basis, i.e. we order books according to student requests. If the library does not have a book required for your course/research, please place a request by using the online form.
