Talk to staff, use online resources and browse through reference books.
If you don't need step-free access, the easiest way is to enter via the North Entrance at Ground floor Level then go up either the Northeast or Northwest stairs. From the top of either of these, you simply turn 180 degrees (right from the northeast or left from the northwest) stairs and continue up five steps into the Study Centre. Note, there's a handrail to your right at the east entrance.
From here, you can go up either the Southeast or Southwest Stairs, at First Floor level, continue towards the stairs on the north side of the building. If you reach the top of the Northwest Stairs, move right (otherwise left at the top of the Northeast Stairs) and continue (north) up five steps into the Study Centre. Note, there's a hand rail to your right at the east entrance.
If you need the lift, we suggest you come in via the Main Entrance and use the East lift to First Floor Level. Turn right (north), continue to the top of the stairs in front of you and move left). Continue (north) towards the Study Centre, there's a wheelchair lift to your right (east) of the steps.
This is a rectangular space with entrances in the south side and the reception desk between them. There are banks of computers and the Reading Room on the north side.
