Our Wi-Fi is improving!
Contractors will be in the Library on Friday 23 to Tuesday 27 June to install extra Wi-Fi access points in the group study area on the 4th Floor of the Library. These extra access points will help to improve Wi-Fi connectivity throughout the building, making it easier and quicker for you to log on.
Please bear with us through this short period of disruption.
For your safety, this group study area will be closed but individual study spaces will still be available on this floor. There is also a range of alternative study space on the other floors and throughout campus to choose from, including group study spaces and PC labs.
Visit Student essentials, Study space for more information about finding study spaces and booking a group study room.

In the morning, on Wednesday 15 and Thursday 16 February, DTS have organised for contractors to install extra Wi-Fi access points in the group study area on the 2nd Floor of the Library. The work will be noisy because they will be drilling into the concrete ceiling. The good news is, these extra access points should improve Wi-Fi connectivity in the building,
Please bear with us through this short period of disruption.
Whilst the work takes place, the area will be closed but if you still find the rest of the floor too noisy remember there is a range of alternative study space on campus to choose from, including

Library User Services
IT recently updated how you log into their systems so that you now use a combination of your IT username and email address, i.e. ab123456@student.reading.ac.uk as your username. This change affects how many of you log in to a variety of University systems such as your University email accounts and Blackboard.
However, this change does NOT affect how you access Library E-resources, which include Talis. If you are accessing an E-resource via our Single Sign On page, you just need your IT username (ab123456) and password to access.
If you are having any issues accessing E-resources, you can contact us via eresourceshelp@reading.ac.uk or by submitting an e-resources problem report form.
