The Library is your partner in research, contributing a range of services, resources and programs to strengthen your effective discovery, use and management of information.

All questions are welcome

Librarians and learning skills advisers with specialist knowledge in your particular discipline can be contacted at any stage of your research. Their expertise includes resource discovery, analysis and use; data management; essay, report and thesis writing; and oral presentation skills.

Save time, manage your references with EndNote

Learn how to use EndNote to save time by making it easy to store, find and cite references.

We encourage you to recommend material to add to the Library’s collection for your research. Discuss this with your librarian or fill in the suggestion form.

Helping you through the publishing  maze

Library staff understand the scholarly publishing process and can recommend the most useful resources for you.

We can help you with search strategies, and show you how to use citation tools. We can also assist you with citing an unusual source and keeping up-to-date with the latest developments in your field.
