Arts & Social Sciences Library, temporary closure

If you need a book from the Arts and Social Sciences Library print collection, please make a reservation and select an alternative library as your collection point. While ASSL is closed, you will be able to access a core collection of essential print reading from resource lists, not available digitally, temporarily from the Wills Memorial Library.

If you need to return an item, you can do this at any of our other libraries. We also have a book bin located at the back of ASSL that is available 9am to 5pm, but please do return books from other libraries to the location you borrowed them from if possible!

The Library Support Team will not be running drop-ins until ASSL reopens, but you can contact them by email to ask any questions. You can make online or in-person appointments via the Library webpage

From Monday 15 September the Day Reader Scheme and walk-in access for SCONUL is suspended and we will only be processing applications for SCONUL band A, B and C while we prioritise study space for our own staff and students. Please contact lib-access@bristol.ac.uk if you have urgent need for access to our collections.

Prebooked visits to our Special Collections are not be affected. Please contact the team at special-collections@bristol.ac.uk if you have any questions.

The IT Counter and Student Laptop and Mobile Clinic will be temporarily moving location to just inside the rear entrance of the Fry Building (School of Mathematics). Open 8.30am to 4pm, Monday to Friday.
