Supporting you during the Coronavirus outbreak

Even if you are unable to use the physical libraries we are here to support you.

Both University Libraries have information about their services during the current situation. You can find these for Hull here and York here.

A summary of NHS services is available by typing Coronavirus into our regular FAQs. These also provide additional information and guidance about accessing our e-resources, using the University VPNs etc.

If you need further support please contact us and a member of our team will respond to you as soon as possible.
