Subject Support for You and Your Students

Liaison Librarians are the key point of contact for academic staff, working to provide high-quality accessible resources to support your teaching and skills development. We welcome opportunities to discuss what’s on offer to you and your students. 

Academic sources

The University Library is responsible for providing access to academic information in all formats, such as books, electronic articles, journals, audio-visual resources.  

Liaison Librarians provide advice and access to the full spectrum of information. We also advise on how to integrate academic content in the University’s virtual learning environment – Canvas.

Research Support

The library can help you find information in your area of research, give advice about citation searching, provide guidance on managing references and offer help with promoting research. See our Support for Researchers page for more info.

Student Support 

The Library is responsible for delivering on the University’s Skills for Learning framework and has a significant contribution to make in the development of academic and employability skills of our graduates. We are committed to the development of digital literacy across the University in its widest sense to include finding, evaluating, and communicating information through to digital identity, privacy and security, and rights and responsibilities.

We can work with you to embed skills development opportunities within your curriculum. We can provide specific support through workshops and online learning materials within taught modules. The Skills for Learning Grid details the range of support materials available to embed into taught modules.

In addition, our Skills Development Team offer support in developing academic skills development opportunities for students in information and digital literacy, academic writing, presentation and exam skills, report writing, critical thinking, literature reviews, reading and note-making. For further information see the Skills for Learning page.
