We work in subject teams. You can:

  • contact your team directly using the email addresses and phone numbers below or come to a drop-in session
  • use the electronic help desk; or
  • go to The Base. We may be able to see you straight away - ask The Base staff to phone us. If we're busy, they can make an appointment for you. We'll meet you in Room 5 in the Carnegie Suite. Come through the double doors to the study area on level 1 of the Saltire Centre and you'll see the entrance at the far right.

Drop-ins for students

We'll answer quick questions and show you which resources to use. If the 10-minute session isn’t long enough, we can arrange another appointment.

If you can’t come at the times below, please get in touch directly with your subject librarians for help finding information and using RefWorks, and with the Effective Learning Service (ELS) for advice on all kinds of coursework, citing and referencing, and more.
