Providing library services safely
In order to keep you safe while studying, the Library has introduced new ways of working.
All students as well as University staff can book a workspace within the Main Library and there is dedicated space in Martyrs Kirk for postgraduate students and staff. There are also a number of drop-in spaces that can be accessed. Using Library search, all University staff and students can also access available physical collections through the Click and Collect service and can ‘Request a scan’ of a book chapter or journal article to be emailed to them.
Staff continue to offer support remotely and services and resources are available online.
Community bookshelf
Items on this shelf are selected by the community at St Andrews. If you want to suggest a theme, or curate a collection, please get in touch library@st-andrews.ac.uk.
"We wanted to draw attention to work on racism and anti-blackness outside the Anglosphere. Acknowledging different histories and legacies of colonisation sharpens thinking around all these vital issues."
