Study facilities

Our library is located inside the flagship Emily Wilding Davison Building, which is at the heart of our campus. It contains helpful services and facilities to support you as a student at Royal Holloway, such as the library, shop, café, Student Services Centre and Careers Service.

Library services and study space

The library provides access to a wide range of digital resources, most of which can be viewed both on and off campus, alongside our extensive collection of printed books and journals. There are also enquiry and advice services to help you use the library, whether you’re on campus or studying remotely. There is an IT help desk providing a laptop and mobile device support service. Your Information Consultant will provide tailored information skills training and advice in discovering, referencing and evaluating relevant resources for your subject. Within the library there are a range of seating options to accommodate different types of studying. Further study space on campus is available in the original Victorian Reading Room in the Founder’s Building. Our newest building, the Beatrice Shilling Building, provides additional core working space and seminar rooms as well as teaching and research areas. You can also use other libraries in the University of London, including Senate House Library, for free, where you can explore a wide range of digital and print resources.
