Universities are following the latest government Covid guidance and, as a result, most libraries on campus are operating on an essential access only basis. Some are providing bookable, socially distanced study areas; others are offering click-and-collect services.
With limited access to resources, students say they are struggling. First year psychology student Erin Carr has been unable to get hold of the mandatory reading for her course. “The online books have expiry dates of a few days and have a limited number of times they can be downloaded,” she says. “On top of this, I don’t have the required storage space on my device.

Sunderland University student Chris Farfouris at St Peter’s Campus Picture: DAVID WOOD A NORTH-EAST actor is looking forward to breaking into film and TV after landing two major roles. Chris Farfouris, 20, has landed a key character role in a new television drama set in Spain and the lead role in a new film, Shakespeare has Died, to be filmed on location in South America. Filming on both productions is postponed until later in the year due to coronavirus restrictions. Chris, who is from Greece but did a screen performance degree at the University of Sunderland, said: To be honest I’m still in shock that I landed both parts in such a short space of time, it’s like a dream come true. You almost have to build yourself up for rejection and be resilient as there is so much competition for these parts.”
