If you have any issues with the booking system, we advise in the first instance that you try using a different internet browser. If this does not fix the issue, please contact I.T. directly at itservicedesk@qub.ac.uk and send a screenshot or description of your issue.
Group study room bookings can be made two days beforehand and no sooner, in line with how other group study rooms in the University operate. Should you wish to make a booking for non-study purposes, please contact graduateschool@qub.ac.uk for advice, making clear what you need the room for.
SCONUL Access - students from other institutions using Queen's facilities
SCONUL Access is a reciprocal access scheme between university libraries, allowing staff and postgraduate research students to use and borrow from other libraries free of charge. It does not cover access to other (non-library) university buildings such as the Thomas J Moran Graduate School.
Applicants apply online through the SCONUL website, which will email the request to their home university to approve them as being in good standing (no fines/charges on their account, etc.). For Queen’s these requests are accessed and responded to by Library staff. When the home University approves the staff/student application, the individual needs to bring their confirmation email to the McClay Library along with their home institution staff/student card, complete our (blue) SCONUL Registration Form and a QUB SCONUL smartcard will be created.
- Queen's staff members
Staff can book any of our Teaching Rooms via Room Bookings on Queen's Online, under Centrally Booked Teaching Rooms. Please don't book Group Study Rooms (prefixed GR) as these are for PG student use.
If you have any queries or issues, please contact us at graduateschool@qub.ac.uk or on 028 9097 2585 and we will be happy to assist.
