All University of Aberdeen Library buildings are closed. This includes the Special Collections Centre and all Museums.
We would like to reassure all students and academic staff that a digital library service will continue to be available while our physical libraries are closed and we will continue to support study, teaching and research.
Important Information
- Any borrowed items will automatically be renewed until further notice. Loans will not become overdue and no fines will accrue
- The option to request items that are currently on loan has been removed from Primo
- Book order requests – we strongly recommend choosing items in electronic format to maximise availability for students who are now working at a distance
- Academic staff and PGRs: if you have an urgent Inter Library Loan request please email: library@abdn.ac.uk with full details of the article or book chapter and we will endeavour to source a digital version from partners.
