Library and IT Self Help

If you are employed to provide study support to University of Plymouth students registered with Disability Services, you can apply for a reference card for ease of access to the library via the internal barriers.

A reference card allows you to use the library for study and to refer to print materials.

• Membership to the end of the academic year: 31st August (renewable annually)
• Entry into the Library building between 08:00 and 18:00 during term time.
• Use of the library for study and to refer to print materials.

• Applicants must be aged 18 or over (proof of age may be required).
• No borrowing entitlement.
• No access to electronic resources, software, databases or other services licensed for the exclusive use of University staff and students, including the study room booking system.
• No access to the library PCs.
• Your card will not enable access to the building between 18.00 and 08.00.

• Bring your completed, signed application form to the library, together with valid current photographic ID, proof of current address and proof of employment.
• Once your application is approved, your card will be available for collection within 3 working days. You will be notified by email. We reserve the right to refuse membership.
• Cards must be carried at all times – you may be refused admittance without your card.
