Welcome New Students: Our Study Spaces

Study Spaces

We have over 3,000 study spaces for groups and individuals across our five locations!

There are two Library Hubs located in the James Joyce Library. These are social learning spaces that provides users with comfortable areas for collaborative and group study.

Hub 1 (nearest the information desk) is equipped with sockets throughout, desktop computers and individual study spaces. Both Hub spaces are located on Level 1, just to your right and left when you enter the Library gates.
