The Sainsbury Library staff are available to help you throughout your MBA course, and Chris and Andy in particular have expertise in helping you with your research work. They will be running training sessions both at the beginning of the year and at various points throughout the term, so do look out for those and take the opportunity to find out about the depth of information available to you. If you have specific research needs, or are having problems with any of our databases, you can also email them directly and they can provide you with support either remotely or in person.

In your first term in particular, as well as a general introduction to using the library, there will be training on using Bloomberg, followed next term by a session on Capital IQ. Throughout the term, Chris and Andy are available to help you – whether one to one or in a small group – with getting the most out of the library databases or in approaching your own research effort, so please email them if you need any advice at all. Their emails are chris.flegg@sbs.ox.ac.uk and andrew.kernot@sbs.ox.ac.uk.

The library is staffed from 9am to 7pm on weekdays, and all staff can help you with general questions about using the library, locating databases and your readings, borrowing books and navigating your way through the Oxford library system. If they can’t solve your problem on the spot, they will be able to find you the right person to help, so please don’t hesitate to ask.
