Students at Heriot Watt University Department of Actuarial Mathematics and Statistics are FREE to use the Faculty Library (the Library has some books and journals which we don’t have at Heriot-Watt).  On visiting the Library, you will be asked to show your student card and this will provide access to the following:

  • borrow up to 6 books for four weeks
    please advise in advance if you want to borrow – search the Library Catalogue first
  • photocopies of periodical articles and extracts from books
    these can be supplied on request, subject to copyright
  • support from library staff
    e.g. to search for information, statistics and hard-to-trace references
  • space for private study

In addition, books and journal articles can be requested and posted out (20p per page for photocopies* and you must pay return postage for books) – request items through the website or by e-mailing the librarian.

There are also various online resources – available for free, directly through the Library Catalogue or the publications archive.
