Library Services for Researchers

Library staff are here to provide support and assistance for your research needs. Our aim is to guide you through the relevant resources, helping you develop knowledge in your field and ensuring you keep up-to-date with the academic information available.

Contact your Faculty Librarian, for expert advice on research methods and materials in your subject area.

In addition, we provide scheduled training sessions on literature searching and reference management, bookable via Postgraduate Research Student Training.
