Your new library: a very brief introduction
Many people find the University Library a little offputting. Perhaps it is the sheer scale of the building compared with the broom cupboard type libraries most students are used to at school or the vast array of print and electronic resources on offer but many people just don’t know where to start. Start by asking us – we are very friendly and are very used to helping students settle in and get off to a great start.
Library staff are back!
We’re back! Library staff are back in the office again and are here to help with all your library and information-related enquiries. Stop by the Library Skills drop-in office or chat with us online!
Referencing pop-ups
We’re bringing back our ever popular referencing drop-ins! We answer referencing questions by email, online chat, face to face at the Library skills drop-in and you can even book appointments to sit down with a a librarian and a long list of referencing questions. Yet, what we’ve found, year in and year out, is that we see more of you when we pop up in another part of the Library than we ever get to come to us.
Whether it is the colourful banner, the smiling librarians in plain view, or the sight of so many other people stopping by to offload their referencing woes and come away feeling better, we’re not sure. What we do know is that you like them, so we’re popping up again next week! Look out for our stand in the Library Atrium from 11 am – 3 pm between 13 – 24 November.
