Learning Resources Centres (LRC)

Services and facilities to help you succeed in your studies

Service update:  Both LRCs will be open 24/7 for students and staff over the May bank holiday weekends.  Self-service facilities remain available but we encourage you to plan ahead as some services such as inter-library loan collection, and printed poster collection will not be available on those days.  Please note there will be no library staff or on-site technical support available on the bank holiday dates (1st, 8th, and 29th May). For information on support and services available on campus over the bank holiday weekend please see ask.herts.ac.uk/bank-holidays
