The Learning Resource Centre is open to QMU staff and students from 8am to 9pm every day. While the book stock and a limited number of terminals will be accessible, all the internal rooms are currently closed. The exception to this are rooms 1161 & 1163 which are available to academic staff for lecture capture recording. These rooms must be booked in the usual way via the room booking system. Postgraduate room 1168 is also accessible to Postgraduate students during LRC opening periods (no booking required).

Our Liaison Librarians continue to work from home, are contactable via email and will provide sessions for staff and students via MS Teams or Collaborate. Staff of the Effective Learning Service also continue to work from home and offer their services in a similar manner.
