The UEA library has a range of services and is clearly very well designed to cope with variety of student needs.However, the size of the library does not match the number of students on campus.I once went into the library at midnight, and could not find a free computer to use. The university has only grown since, and with more undergraduate students entering the university every year this problem will only continue to grow.if you are an undergraduate student, there are several better places on campus to work. However, if you can find a space to work in the library, it's a great place.
Basically live in this library so I'm glad it's 24/7
The library itself is good (...same can't quite be said for the University) - it has adequate books and an easy-to-use checkout and search/reservation system. There are generally enough copies of everything - which is helped during exam time by the short loan renewal system many Uni libraries have.The computers were modernised and updated during the last summer or two - internet connectivity is good and there is wifi (Eduroam) throughout for students. Postgraduates have their own room for both taught (MA / MSc, PhD) and research students (MRes, etc), which is a great escape from the undergrads. However, my only niggle when I was a postgrad student was the minimal number of computers in the PGT room... during peak times, when all other available computers were taken across the general computer rooms, these too were often full. They log off after half an hour of inactivity, but people would almost 'reserve' them with coats, books and bags. Not the best system!The library could benefit from some more 'upbeat' social areas with snack machines. The same as the rest of campus, the concrete is cold, unwelcoming and uninviting. Reminds you of being in some form of prison institution.
Good to have a 24h place to study. If you are postgraduate student you have comfortable private rooms and if you are doing group works there are plenty of bookable spaces.
Vast resource in books
