Our Library and Computing Services teams are available to provide Herts students with the support needed for study success, whether that's finding resources, getting connected to the Wi-Fi, developing study skills, or accessing software.
We have online help and resources available which can be accessed anytime anywhere, as well as online chat and appointments, and friendly helpdesk advisors available on the phones.
At the start of term, look out for our Wi-Fi Warriors to help you get set up with campus Wi-Fi or come and speak to a member of staff at one of our Learning Resources Centre (LRC) welcome desks.
Keep up to date with Library and Computing news by following us on Twitter @uhlr and Instagram @uniofhertslibrary and check for news posts on StudyNet.
