Students who want to study in Britain had better know about the libraries of British universities first. British universities generally have several campuses, and libraries are also located in different campuses, and some are open 24 hours a day. Provide students with a wealth of books, including textbooks, newspapers, CDs and online materials, as well as high-quality and convenient services.

Be sure to know all kinds of facilities in the library and how to use them before starting school. Students can apply for a library card in the library with the registration form, apply for a school mailbox, a network user name, a certain amount of hard disk space, an account number and a password in the information center, and then they can access the campus network and connect to the Internet. Computers are everywhere in the library, all connected to broadband network, which is very fast. In addition, each department has its own computer room for students to use. The computer is equipped with various application software, such as Word, Power Point, Excel, statistical analysis software SPSS, antivirus software, etc. Students can surf the internet freely, and there is no time limit, and they can surf the internet at any time. The library also has a service desk to provide consulting services for students.

Each student's library card can borrow more than a dozen books, and the borrowing period varies with the number of books, the old and new degree, and the borrowing frequency, ranging from a few hours to a day, a week and a month. In addition to the book number, there are labels in different colors such as red, green and blue on the spine to distinguish the borrowing period. Because there are enough books, almost all the reference books listed by teachers can be borrowed from the library, so students don't have to worry about not reading them even if they don't buy expensive textbooks. Libraries are all computerized management, and there are only four or five staff members in Nuoda Library. All the books and periodicals in the collection can be found on the computer, and students only need to input their library card numbers into the computer to find them. More than ten kinds of information can be displayed on the computer screen. For example, if you want to search for a book, you can search by book number, author name or title keyword. Choose a search method, enter relevant information, and all the information related to that book will be displayed on the computer screen. Such as title, author, book classification number, publication time, publishing house, content summary, whether there are any books at present, which libraries are there, etc. You can see it at a glance. If students find that the books they want to borrow have been borrowed by others on the library management network, it doesn't matter if they are anxious. They can click the reservation button through the computer reservation or reservation system, and then enter their names and addresses into the computer to go home and wait. Once the book is returned to the library, the librarian will send the notice of book collection to the student's residence, and someone will pick up the book within two weeks. The books in students' hands can be renewed if no one has made an appointment, otherwise it will not work. Therefore, some "smart" students in China borrow books and order them immediately for long-term preservation. Of course, this situation is incredible for European students, and it is best to use it less. The borrowing and returning of books can be solved by librarians and self-service publishers, which are special tools for borrowing and returning books. When borrowing books, put the library card in the designated place. The laser beam will scan the bar code on the card and then put the book on it. The book will be charged to your account after you have swept it. Finally, the instrument spit out a small piece of paper with the title of the book and the date of return printed on it. The process of returning books is similar. If you return the book late, you will be fined 20 pence a day, and the computer will write it down. It is impossible to muddle through. Fortunately, the librarian's service attitude has always been amiable, and he smiled and said thank you after receiving the fine.

If you find books and periodicals valuable, the library has photocopiers and scanners. Students can buy a copy card through the card vending machine, and it costs only 5p to copy A4 format documents. It is very convenient to continue to recharge the money in the card when it is used up. Scanners can be used for free. It's really a pleasant thing to scan the photos and send them back to China through the Internet, so that relatives and friends can know about their life in a foreign country. Some students scan and save books and periodicals on personal disks in order to save copying fees, regardless of the effect.

In addition to books and periodicals, there are also electronic information resources such as CDs and electronic periodicals in the library. Teachers and students can access the school's computer database, the internet or the United academic network all over the UK to obtain information. Many newspapers in Britain offer free online editions, such as The Guardian, The Observer, The Times, Interactive Investor and Financial Times. The latest industry market analysis of famous market analysis companies and all information of listed companies, such as annual reports, analysis, comments, etc., can also be found in the electronic materials of the library. One of the famous online libraries in Britain is BIDS (Bath Information &; Data Services- BIDS, collecting information of science, engineering, medicine, social humanities, art, education, management and other disciplines. Universities and research institutions in Britain have signed contracts with BIDS to share resources. Students can ask the school librarian for the account number and password and search.

All the computers in the library are connected to the laser printer in the printing area. Students can go to the service desk, pay the money, ask the administrator to enter a certain amount of pounds in the library card, and then they can print the information on the computer. It's usually 5 pence each. If the books and periodicals found on various networks have only a brief introduction or abstract, but no full text, you can borrow the text from the library. If the school does not have this collection, it can also borrow it from the libraries of other universities and even the British Museum through inter-library cooperation. The handling method is also very simple: ask the librarian for a special card, fill in the required article, periodical or book name, author's name, publishing house, publication date, periodical serial number, and your own library card number, name and address, and give it to the librarian. After a week or two, you can receive articles from other libraries. If you want the whole periodical or book, you need to borrow it from the school library.

Everything provided by British university libraries is really convenient. For international students who need to read a lot of literature to write papers, the library is their second home.
