Extended one-to-ones and more from our Libraries
We have extended our one-to-one tutorials with more staff available to help you in our Later in the Library drop-ins. You can book a one-to-one tutorial with an academic skills tutor, subject librarian or digital champion who can provide support with assignments, preparing for exams, or writing your dissertation.
Our libraries give you access to 1.5 million books, journals and e-resources, and if a book is not available or at your home library you can always reserve it. On the rare occasion we don’t have what you need, you can use our Document Delivery service can give you access to books and journals not on our catalogue. If there is a specific text you need for an assignment, be sure to request it early. And our Chapter Scan service is here if you can’t visit our libraries for any reason.
Our library guides are full of useful tip and contacts, including a new guide full of academic support sessions you may have missed or want to revisit. They tell you everything you need to know about our services. If you have any general library questions please contact us for help and support.
