The Library: Events Management

Academic Librarians support your studies through:

• Academic liaison — working with your Department to ensure that the Library has the resources you need.
• Teaching — library inductions, specialist sessions and one-to-one appointments.
• Research support — helping students and researchers make best use of available information sources.

Please ask if you need further help.

The Library's Offsite service supports distance learners and students based off-campus.

After exploring these pages and the help available from Research Support, please contact your Academic Librarians if you would like to book an appointment to discuss your research support needs.

For support with Individual Projects, please see the Dissertations guide below
