Champions of Cambridge: Wolfson College triumphant after historic basketball cuppers win
- When can I use the Library?
-
Wolfson Library, which you may also find referred to as the Lee Library, is on the east side of the college. It is your library; we want you to feel comfortable here and have access to the resources you need for your studies.
The library is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. You can use the Library as soon as you have your University card; you need this to get into the rooms. If you arrive before you can collect this card, please email Laura Jeffrey, the Librarian, to arrange temporary access.
The Reading Room is upstairs and contains well-equipped study spaces, our book collections, the borrowing machine and the returns box. You may bring drinks and cold food into the library. Laura, the Librarian, has her office up there too. Alberto Garcia Jr., the Academic Skills Librarian, is based in the Sir David Williams Room, a study space on the ground floor. Please do get in touch with them if you have any questions about access to resources, but also how to use them effectively, manage references and data, take notes, read critically, manage your time, publish your research or other aspects of academic skills.
For more information and details about how our library and services will work this year, take a look at our webpages, our welcome video and our guide for new students and :

Getting online in Wolfson

- What health support is there in College?
-
Sally Maccallum is the College Nurse. You'll find her clinic at Morrison House, which is the building near the flag pole. Online appointments can be made by emailing Sally. More about what she offers, and other useful information, can be found on the Health and Wellbeing pages.
Students can, for whatever reason, find the transition to University challenging, and can be left feeling overwhelmed. If this is the case there are various forms of support available in College and in the University, including the College Counsellor and the University Counselling Service. The college has a webpage outlining mental health support options that are available to you.
Tutors will be available throughout full term and at other times, providing an appointment is made.
N.B. In case of EMERGENCY students can contact their own Tutor via the Porters’ Lodge: 01223 335900.
