E-Learning Team

There is a dedicated E-Learning Team at Royal Holloway which champions digital innovation, supports staff to innovate their teaching, and trains them in the use of new technologies.  

Royal Holloway operates digital-first Library Services allowing students to access ebooks, journals and other resources from its own extensive collection, as well as from external sources such as the Senate Library, or other institutions with reciprocal access under the SCONUL scheme. These resources are also accessible from our physical libraries. 

Emily Wilding Davis Building where the main Library is located

The Library Services team works with each School to ensure required reading for each course is available and that students are supported to manage their reading lists. There are also accessibility tools for students with specific learning requirements as well as self-help collections to support student wellbeing and belonging. 

Study Spaces:

There are over 1400 spaces in our Library and Founder's Room for silent or social use. There are also 15 bookable rooms for group use. 

Printing and laptop loans

Students may also book laptops and access free and paid printing services at the Library, as well as copying services. 

Our dedicated IT Services support students to have a seamless hybrid learning experience. They help students connect to campus while learning online, troubleshoot problems, download campus software, and access the college network.
