  • Filming in the University Library

    We are aware that at this busy time of year for projects, students may want to use the University Library for filming purposes.  If you think from your story boarding you want to come in and film, please note we have the following guidelines in place for you to follow.

    University Library

    You must seek permission, in advance, from either;

    Please outline briefly, in your e-mail whereabouts in the University Library or LINC you would like to use, how long you will be filming for, and if you will be using props or wish to move furniture.

    We are sorry but we can’t allow you to film on the 2nd Floor Silent Area due to the proximity of the book stock and need for silent study.

    Please remember the Library is a place of study.
