University of Lincoln Libraries

Your Library

The Great Central Warehouse Library is home to 260,000 journals and 750,000 print and electronic books, as well as databases and specialist collections. Situated on the Brayford Pool campus, and open 24/7 at peak times, it is a central point for students across the university to work both individually and collaboratively. The Library is staffed by an experienced team who are on hand to offer support for learning development through drop-ins, workshops, and individual appointments. 

 

Academic Subject Librarians

Each of our Colleges has Academic Subject Librarians on hand to support you with finding and using information, referencing, and study skills. Students have the choice of booking one-to-one appointments or attending one of the regularly run drop-in sessions.

Decolonisation

The University of Lincoln is committed to decoloniality and decolonisation through the principles of diversifying, decentring, and deconstructing. Our libraries have a range of insightful resources to help you to find out more about decolonisation and aid you in applying these principles to your own studies.
