As a guest, you can use Library at Murray and St Peter's Library during our staffed helpdesk hours.

Using Library at Murray as a guest

Library at Murray is located on the lower level of Murray Health, one of our teaching buildings. The University has introduced campus card access to several teaching buildings as part of enhanced safety measures across campus. As a guest, we can set you up on the Salto JustIn Mobile app, which the University uses for visitor access. This will allow you to use your mobile phone to open the exterior doors in place of a campus card. This will be set up for you as part of the registration process. The Salto JustIN Mobile app is available on both iOS and Android devices. Read more about downloading the app on the Salto website. Please ensure that the mobile number you include in your registration form matches the number of the phone you will use for building access.

Once inside the building, you will need a library guest access card to open the library access gates. If you do not have a card, a member of Library staff can sign you in manually.

Please note that you can access Library at Murray during our staffed helpdesk hours only. 

Using St Peter's Library as a guest

St Peter's Library is located in the Prospect Building. This building is not usually on campus card control, so you should not need to use the app to open the exterior doors. Once inside the building, you will need a library guest access card to open the library access gates. If you do not have a card, a member of Library staff can sign you in manually.

Please note that you can access St Peter's Library during our staffed helpdesk hours only.
