Getting Started with the Library

We're here to help and support you 24/7; use Ask Us Live Chat or email, if you need help accessing and using resources, or have any other questions just ask.

You can also check out our FAQs page

The Library team are always on hand to support you with anything you may need.

Come and see us during staffed hours at the Library Information Desks at Forum and St Luke’s Libraries in Exeter, and at the Compass Desk in Penryn Campus Library. 

We can help with general enquiries such as: 

• Accessing your reading lists 
• Locating a book in the Library 
• Using Library Search 
• Room bookings in the Library 

We are also the people who answer the Ask Us Live Chat; that's right, you'll be speaking to a real person!
