Make an appointment with your subject/outreach librarian

Do you have any questions about your studies? Are you keen to make the most of your research? Do you want to know more about referencing? Are you not sure where to find key information for your essays or research? Perhaps you need help with a specific database?

If you have any questions, you can book an appointment with your specialist subject or outreach librarian. They can talk with you in person, over Teams, over the phone or by email – whichever method you prefer and are most comfortable with.

As well as helping with your literature search and constructing search queries, subject and outreach librarians can…

  • Provide group or one-to-one information skills training
  • Discuss Open Access issues with you and help you find the relevant information for you
  • Show you how to access and manage research data
  • Source and purchase book and resource recommendations – we are particularly interested in purchasing Equality, Diversity and Inclusion titles to improve our collections
  • Advise and train you on reference management software and how to use different styles
  • Show you how to navigate subject-specific databases
  • And so much more…
