The Library isn’t just somewhere you can get books. It’s somewhere you can do your work on your own or with others, escape sensory overload and get some help with studying. This section of the toolkit will introduce our library and the services it can offer you.
Background
We have specialist library staff who understand autism and want to help you make the most out of your time at uni. They can help you with finding, choosing and using library resources, amongst many other things.
As an applicant or new student at the University of Suffolk finding your way around the facilities and resources can be a daunting prospect. Here you will find all of the relevant information about using our resources and a wealth of support offered by Learning Services that will get you started on the path to success.
How could this affect me?
Many students in the Autism&Uni surveys mentioned the library as somewhere they really enjoyed being, whether they needed some quiet space to get away from it all or find some help or just to get some work done.
