Library Guide for Academic Staff: About the Library

The library is your starting point for information and academic assignment support. Our mission is to provide quality information and learning resources, and to meet the needs of learning, teaching and research within TUS and the local community with services of the highest quality.

TUS Library is located in the Main Campus (beside the Main Canteen). 

During Termtime, we are open Monday to Thursday 9am to 9.45pm & Fridays 9am to 5.00pm. Saturday openings usually begin in October each year and the opening hours are from 9am to 4pm.  The online library is open 24/7 on campus or from home at https://library.ait.ie/  Check out the website for current library opening hours and many other library services. 

The main library desk will answer most of your library queries.
