Summer studies: Welcome to VU Library

For your summer studies, visit campus libraries for study facilities and access the library online for resources, training and support.

Visit campus libraries for access to friendly help at the service desk, Wi-Fi, PCs, printers, study spaces, group study room and library accessibility services. Some campus libraries buildings are open in the evenings and weekends. Check opening hours.

During the festive season, the Library will be closed for University and public holidays from Friday 20 December 2024 to Wednesday 1 January 2025. 

LibraryChat

Chat online in real time with friendly library staff for help with finding a library resource or service for your studies. 

Access LibraryChat via:

• library website – scroll down past ‘Browse databases by subject’

When Chat is offline, check Library FAQs. If you can’t find an answer, submit your question.
