Library Induction May 2025: Welcome

Locate is the name of the library's search tool.

You can use it to find books (both print and electronic) and also journal articles. Simply type your search terms into the search bar and select the type of resource you would like to find from the drop-down menu.

Subject Guides

You have a library guide specifically for your subject area, called a Subject Guide. Here you will find a collated list of the online resources that relate to your course, as well as professional guidance about finding and using information for your studies, and details of the librarian who can help you with finding information.

Access the full list of subject guides to find your LibGuide.

Induction Display

From the 19th May to 30th May we'll have a display on the Ground Floor of the Library promoting the Academic Liaison Librarian Team, and how to get the best out of library services and facilities. There will also be a selection of study skills books available to browse taken from our Study Skills collection on the Ground Floor. Please do borrow anything you find of interest!

Do also make sure you follow us on social media to stay up to date!
