Libraries

The main University Library is situated at the heart of the Ormskirk campus, in Catalyst. We also have a smaller Library on our Manchester St James’ campus. Both are accessible to all Edge Hill University students but we advise you check the opening hours before travelling, for up to date information about each site.

Accessing your resources

Digital Library

Although you can find lots of great help, support and resources within your physical Library, you can also access your digital library online. We have created a package of online tutorials to guide you through how to access, and make the most of, your key learning resources. These guides are particularly useful for students when studying off campus.
