What kind of support is available on campus?

The Library
Each subject has a dedicated Information Consultant to support students and staff. Information Consultants can teach students how to:
- Find information which is suitable for their academic work quickly and systematically
- Select the best sources to use for their work and evaluate the information in them
- Reference correctly and consistently using the subject referencing style guide
- Use reference management software such as Endnote and Latex
- Manage how they share information in a safe and professional way
If you would like support in any of these areas your Information Consultant will be happy to help. You can book an appointment with your Information Consultant for yourself or a small group from your subject guide which can be found here.
If you prefer to learn independently, the library moodle course has a range of resources and activities to help you develop your information literacy skills.
Your Information Consultants can also be booked by academic staff to teach these skills to groups of students. If you feel this would be helpful for your cohort, speak to your lecturer to request a session with your Information Consultant.
