Study and work spaces during exam period – how the Library can help you

Looking for study space – we’re here to help!

During revision and exam period, the library wants to ensure a proper study environment and that students will make full use of what is available for them.

Make use of Library Materials

• Search the Library Catalogue (OpenABEKT) to find out if a certain item is available in electronic format and use your CITY College email account to request permission to download material.

• The Library has many resources for your examination preparation, especially a rich collection of e-resources, including databases, e-journals and over thousands e-books covering all subjects.

Extra Study Facilities

The Green Reading Room - an all-in-one study & work facility that remains open in extended hours, 7 days a week. The room is equipped with PCs, Printer and Scanner.

• Weekdays: 08.30-21.45
   
• Weekends: check January 2023 schedule

Library Policies

• Be respectful and help maintain a QUIET environment where you can fully concentrate on studying.
• Do not sit at a space with a computer without using it. Another student probably needs it.
• If you need a space for conversation and collaboration, please use the Group Study Room or the two available Project Rooms.
• Do not leave your belongings in Study Rooms or Reading Tables to reserve a study space. Store your items in the dedicated lockers.
• Leave study seats behind tidy for following users.
• Mobile telephones should be set to silent mode while in the Library.

Study effectively

As this period you will be spending longer hours studying in the library, it is very important that you eat healthy, drink water and remember to take breaks during the day to relax.
