Academic Staff

The Library's role is to support teaching and research in the University. We have an Academic Support Team to provide subject-specific library support and information skills training. Please visit the Subject Information pages to find details of your Academic Liaison Librarian who will be glad to explain how the library can support you and your students.

Library resources for your teaching

In order to most effectively support taught courses, it is essential that the Library has a copy of your reading list. Please ensure that you send a copy of your reading list to the Library as soon as possible. The deadline for reading list submissions ahead of the 2012-13 academic year is the 1st July 2012. Given the number of lists the library receives, if a list is received after that date we cannot guarantee that library materials will be in place for the start of the Michaelmas term. 

Library resources for your research

Please consult our Research pages for links to services and resources relevant to your research needs. If you would like to suggest an item to be purchased for the library to support your research, you can do so by sending a request to your Departmental Library Representative.

Information skills training

The Library can provide information skills training for you and/or your students. Please contact one of the Academic Liaison Librarians for your subject to discuss how we can help you. We are happy to run sessions either within your department or in one of the rooms available in the Library. The types of sessions we offer include basic library induction, sessions tailored to learning about specific online resources and subject-specific essay or dissertation support.
