Staff and students

Your dedicated Academic Liaison Librarian is your main point of contact with the Library. They can help you by:

  • advising on finding and using information and resources effectively
  • giving you individual help with research
  • assisting with referencing and using reference management software such as EndNote and Mendeley
  • helping with reading lists and ensuring all recommended readings are available
  • running training sessions on finding and using information

They liaise with the Library representatives for your school about book orders and other Library matters.
