Virtual Tour of The Library

Welcome to the 2023/24 tour of UoYLibrary - useful links below!

We'll take you through the Morrell, Fairhurst and Burton and tell you a little bit about what to expect. We have knowledgeable and friendly staff, over a million print items and hundreds of thousands of online resources, plus study spaces, laptop loans, PC classrooms, a Music Library, a Creativity Lab and a whole load more. If you want to go on a self-guided tour in the building itself, look out for the green posters on Floor 0 of the Morrell.

The best way to keep up to date with the library is on

The video is narrated by Ned Potter (Academic Liaison Librarian), Kirsty Lingstadt (Director of Library, Archives and Learning Services), Jackie Knowles (Assistant Director, Engagement & Customer Experience), Sarah Thompson (Assistant Director, Content & Open Research), and Laura Yeoman (Access and Digital Engagement Archivist).

It was written, filmed, produced and edited (using VideoLeap) by Ned Potter - huge thanks to Joe Burn who provided the drone shot of campus at the start, and DigiFish for some additional library footage.
