New to the library
Welcome to the library!
Your main contact in the library is your Subject Librarian who will be able to help you find the right resources when you have been given your first assignment. For more general enquiries, talk to the staff on the Base who will be able to help and direct you to the right person or place.
Don't forget, we are here to help.
The pages on the menu to the left will outline some things to consider now that you are a student. We have search skills pages to help you find books and articles on your reading lists. For more specific instructions look on the 24-7 help page for your school. There are more links at the foot of the page. If you miss your library welcome session, don't panic! You can come along to our drop-in sessions or contact your subject librarian. We'll help you out.
