The Library
The Library is there to support your studies and you can be sure of a range of resources and specialist staff to help you find the information that you need.
The University holds around 500,000 volumes, over 2,000 periodical titles and over 1,000 electronic journals. The library computer is accessible from any PC or workstation connected by network or modem 365 days a year, 24 hours a day. This accessibility means that you can conduct research, make reservations or renewals and look at information databases on a range of subjects. Specialist librarians are on hand to give you specific advice and guidance on your particular subject. It also holds periodicals, newspapers, reports, government publications, documents from the European Union, CD ROMs, and on line sources, so you can keep updated on any relevant information. Of particular help to undergraduates is a short-loan collection, containing the key books for each course.

The Library is housed in three modern buildings, all of which provide a pleasant working environment. The J B Priestley Library is at the heart of the main campus, and has recently been extended. It provides computer-based services and terminals for undergraduates, teaching rooms and rooms for group study. The Yvette Jacobson Library at the Management Centre and the Health Studies Library contain specialised collections relevant to the academic activities in these areas.

The Computer Centre
Computing facilities are available in most buildings and Bradford is amongst the leading universities in the country in workstations per head of student population. It also help students who want to buy their own PCs. To this end the university secured special prices with some manufacturers and  also supply  free or very cheap software.
You can access the campus network from almost every bedroom in the halls of residence with the use of a standard modem, allowing you to check the stock in the Library, reserve or renew books, send e-mails to other higher education institutions as well as offering you internet access. Access to the network is also available through most staff rooms, lecture rooms and laboratories

The Bookshop
Students can benefit from a Waterstone's bookshop on campus, stocking essential and recommended texts as specified by your course lecturers.
As you would expect, you can also buy a range of paperbacks, general interest books, stationery, gifts and cards. Any books you require can quickly be ordered and as well as the shop on the main campus, there is a separate branch at the University's School of Management, specialising in management works.
