Bookings for study rooms and for other computers in the library all count towards the allowances above.
No booking but you'd like to use a room?
You can use the study rooms without booking in advance but be aware they might be booked by someone else. You will only be able to use them until the next booking starts.
Check the computer screen to see how long a room is available for and log-in to secure the room for as long as possible.
Please note: Library staff reserve the right to clear unattended possessions from study rooms where necessary.
The study rooms at Solent University Library are bookable via MyPC.
To book a room, select the Site 'Library study rooms' and the date you would like to book:
The coloured blocks show rooms that are unavailable (e.g. booked, in use, etc,.). The grey squares indicate availability. In the example above, Room 112 is booked from 8.30 to 12.30, but Room 113 is available at this time.
Click on the square for the time you would like your booking to start (each square represents 15 minutes) and fill in the pop-up that appears. You will receive an email confirming your booking.
When you book a room, your booking is assigned to the computer in that room. This means you will need to log-in to the computer in the room within 15 minutes of the start of the booking, otherwise the booking will be lost. You need to do this even if you do not intend to use the computer. Please also remember to log out of the computer when you finish using the room.
